Brandon League shut down for a few months

Dodgers reliever Brandon League will be out "an extended period of time." Manager Don Mattingly was not specific but it is believed to be a few months because of a shoulder issue. (Bill Plunkett on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
The Dodgers bullpen continues to get ravaged and is in flux. League was one of the few arms that had prior closing experience. Rosterresource.com currently has Chris Hatcher as the closer with Joel Peralta and Pedro Baez as set-up men and Sergio Santos, Dustin McGowan and J.P. Howell in middle relief. I think Sergio Santos and Peralta have the best shot to "run away" with the job while Kenley Jansen is out but Mattingly has stated that he may employ a closer-by-committe approach. This looks to be a situation to avoid until there is some clarity.
