The Dodgers placed Almonte on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right knee sprain, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Almonte was pulled from Friday's contest against the Rockies with a right knee injury, and it will officially cause him to spend at least 15 days on the injured list. The 29-year-old had accumulated a 5.06 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 48 innings on the season and will be replaced in the bullpen by Victor Gonzalez.
