League (shoulder) is expected to begin the season on the disabled list, Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles reports.

Analysis:

League will undergo a contrast MRI Wednesday after displaying little improvement in his shoulder since receiving an injection last week. He reportedly didn't feel right following a bullpen session Tuesday, and a DL stint appears to be on tap for him to begin the season. He'll likely serve in a middle-relief role with the club once he returns from the injury.
