BALTIMORE (AP) The Baltimore Orioles have placed left-hander Richard Bleier on the 10-day disabled list with a shoulder injury, a huge setback for the team with the worst record in the major leagues.
Bleier was the most effective reliever in a bullpen that only recently got back injured Zach Britton and Darren O’Day. Bleier is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 31 games, the most appearances on the staff.
Bleier hurt his arm Wednesday, walking off the mound in pain after a seventh-inning pitch against Boston.
An MRI determined the injury to be a left shoulder latissimus strain.
In addition to putting Bleier on the DL on Friday, the Orioles recalled left-handed reliever Tanner Scott from Triple-A Norfolk; selected the contract of infielder Corban Joseph from Double-A Bowie; optioned right-hander Yefry Ramirez to Norfolk; and designated lefty D.J. Snelten for assignment.
