The Dodgers have placed right-hander Charlie Haeger on the 15-day disabled list because of a sprained right big toe.

The team on Monday recalled right-hander Jon Link from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill the roster spot.

Manager Joe Torre says Haeger told him he hasn't felt comfortable on the mound since hurting his toe while rehabbing from an earlier stint on the DL.

Haeger is 0-4 with a 8.53 ERA in eight games, including five starts. The knuckleballer had plantar fasciitis that landed him on the DL from May 9-June 2. He started five games before that injury, but it's possible he won't return to that role.

Torre says Link won't be around long. The Dodgers hope to activate left-hander George Sherrill on Tuesday from the DL, where he's been since May 24 with tightness in his back.
