The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed Manny Ramirez on the 15-day disabled list because of lingering problems with his right hamstring.

The move is retroactive to Tuesday, when he strained the hamstring in the first inning against San Francisco. It's Ramirez's second stint on the DL this season. He went on the DL from April 23-May 8. Ramirez is batting .322 with eight homers and 39 RBIs in 59 games.

Los Angeles recalled outfielder Xavier Paul from Triple-A Albuquerque to take Ramirez's roster spot. The Dodgers also recalled right-hander Travios Schlichting from Albuquerque and optioned right-hand Ramon Troncoso to the Triple-A club.

Ramirez was out of the lineup for the second consecutive day on Friday in Phoenix.

Dodgers manager Joe Torre had already said Ramirez would likely be out the rest of the three-game series.

Los Angeles is 13-15 this season without Ramirez, who is hitting .322 with eight home runs and 39 RBIs in 59 games.
