LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia went on the injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain.
The move was retroactive to Aug. 23.
Vesia is 3-2 with a 2.75 ERA in 59 appearances this season.
“I felt it a couple days ago,” he said. “There was no pull or grab or anything that like made me concerned.”
Vesia said he's confident the two-week IL stint will take care of it, as well as give him a breather before the stretch run begins.
“The rest is a good thing,” he said.
The Dodgers reinstated right-hander Blake Snell, who will make his next scheduled start Friday against Arizona. He was on the paternity list after his wife gave birth to their second child on Monday. Snell is 3-2 with a 1.97 ERA in six starts this season.

SEATTLE (AP) — Jeremy Fears Jr. scored 19 points and No. 12 Michigan State beat Washington 80-63 on Saturday for its fourth straight victory.
The Spartans (16-2, 6-1 Big Ten) won in their first game at Washington since 1957.
Fears was 6 of 9 from the field and made 7 of 8 free throws in his fourth straight game with at least 15 points. He also had five assists.
Kur Teng added 11 points, hitting three 3-pointers.
Zoom Diallo led Washington (10-8, 2-5) with 18 points, and Hannes Steinbach had 17 points and nine rebounds. The Huskies have lost four of five, three of them against teams ranked 12th or better.
Washington was without guard Desmond Claude. He announced Friday on social media that he was “stepping away from all on-court activities” due to health concerns stemming from a sprained ankle in fall workouts that forced him to miss the first four games of the season. In 12 games (nine starts), he averaged 13.3 points.
Michigan State: At Oregon on Tuesday night
Washington: At No. 8 Nebraska on Wednesday night.
