He&#8217;s been placed on the 10-day injured list, with utilityman <strong>Zach McKinstry<\/strong> recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take his active roster spot.<\/p>\n<p>Manager Dave Roberts told reporters (including <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jack_A_Harris\/status\/1532495415525797889\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times<\/a>) that Pillar is weighing his treatment options, with surgery a possibility.  In any event, he&#8217;s likely to be out for a significant portion of time given the seriousness of the diagnosis.  The team has yet to provide a timetable on his return of him, but it wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise if the veteran outfielder is facing a months-long absence.<\/p>\n<p>Pillar just made it onto the big league roster over the weekend.  The 33-year-old signed a minor league deal with the club in Spring Training and locked in a prorated portion of a $ 2.5MM salary when he got to the majors.  He appeared in only four games before suffering the fracture yesterday against the Pirates.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his call-up, the righty-hitting Pillar had absolutely mashed with Oklahoma City.  Through 153 plate appearances in Triple-A, he&#8217;d been hitting .315 \/ .412 \/ .622 with nine home runs.  His 13.1% walk rate di lui was excellent, topping a minuscule 11.1% strikeout percentage.  Pillar had a June 1 opt-out right under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement, but the Dodgers elected to bring him to the majors rather than let him retest free agency.  Unfortunately, he&#8217;ll be out of action just a few games into his MLB tenure with the organization.  Pillar will hit free agency at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dodgers outfielder Kevin Pillar has fractured his left shoulder, according to a club announcement.
