The move with Craig is retroactive to May 17. He was hitting .373 in 13 games with 19 RBIs and five home runs – all of them during a seven-game stretch. He began the season on the DL with a sore right knee.
 
McClellan had a 5.30 ERA in 16 appearances, allowing 11 earned runs, 16 hits and nine walks in 18 2-3 innings.
 
 Outfielder Adron Chambers and right-hander Brandon Dickson were recalled from Triple-A Memphis before the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
