As expected, the Dodgers placed infielder Juan Uribe on the disabled list and activated third baseman Casey Blake (pictured at left) on Saturday.

Blake -- who has been on the disabled list three times this season -- was 3 for 4 with a double, two runs and a run batted in with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday night. Blake played in only one other minor-league game to prepare for his activation.

Uribe, who has missed the last five games with a strained groin, is batting .204 with four home runs.
