NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t going to face any discipline from Major League Baseball over the laser flap at Citi Field last weekend.

MLB didn’t find a violation during the Dodgers’ weekend series against the New York Mets.

“I have no other comment on it,” Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts said. “We’ll abide by whatever the Major League Baseball rules specify.”

The Mets wanted MLB to look into how the Dodgers were using a laser range-finder to set defensive positioning in the outfield before a game, and whether they were marking the field for shifts.

MLB has told teams that using electronic devices is OK before games, but not during play. MLB also has informed clubs that they can’t leave anything on the field.

GIANTS: San Francisco placed outfielder Hunter Pence on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Pence missed six starts with another right hamstring injury before returning on Saturday. This time, the more significant injury could keep Pence on the disabled list longer than two weeks.

PIRATES: Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong underwent surgery to repair multiple facial fractures suffered when he was hit by a pitch.

He will be re-examined by team doctors next week, when an appropriate rehab timeline will be outlined.

A pitch from Colorado’s Jordan Lyles struck Vogelsong in the face on May 23.

ROYALS: Third baseman Mike Moustakas has had season-ending surgery on his right knee.

Moustakas tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a May 22 collision with teammate Alex Gordon.

TWINS: Minnesota pushed back right-hander Kyle Gibson’s return from the disabled list because of stiffness in his back, bringing Phil Hughes back from the bullpen before he ever pitched in relief.

BRAVES: Atlanta placed infielder Gordon Beckham on the 15-day DL with a strained left hamstring and recalled infielder Brandon Snyder from Triple-A Gwinnett.
