| News: The Tampa Bay Rays have placed closer Kyle Farnsworth on the 15-day disabled list due to a strained right elbow. The expected move was announced Thursday, one day before Tampa Bay's opener against the New York Yankees. | Impact: An MRI this week revealed a strain of a muscle that's causing soreness in the elbow. Farnsworth said Wednesday it is the same problem that bothered him last September. The right-hander went 5-1 with 25 saves and a 2.18 ERA over 63 appearances last season. To take Farnsworth's place on the roster, the Rays recalled right-hander Josh Lueke from Triple-A Durham.(STATS, 10:20pm) |
