Braves place Dotel on 15-day DL; recall Acosta from Triple-A

PHILADELPHIA -- Octavio Dotel was placed on the 15-day
disabled list with a right shoulder strain by the Atlanta Braves on
Friday.

Dotel, who was acquired by the Braves from Kansas City on July
31 for right-hander Kyle Davies, was 0-0 with an 8.31 ERA in five
games with the Braves.

Dotel was 2-1 with a 3.91 ERA and 11 saves in 14 chances with
Kansas City this season, after missing the first seven weeks with a
strained left oblique muscle. He has bounced back well after a
major elbow injury that plagued him in 2005 and 2006.

The Braves recalled right-hander Manny Acosta from Triple-A
Richmond to take his place.
