Rays Place Glasnow On IL, Recall Brosseau

Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow speaks to the media Monday after being removed after four innings in his start against the Chicago White Sox

After having to remove him from Monday night’s game due to right elbow inflammation, the Tampa Bay Rays placed pitcher Tyler Glasnow on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times was the first to report that an MRI on Glasnow’s elbow indicated that the 27-year old suffered a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament and a strain of his flexor tendon.

The right-hander had made 14 starts this season, and amassed a 5-2 record, a 2.66 earned run average, and 123 strikeouts, second-most in the American League, in 88 innings of work.

To take his spot on the active roster, infielder Mike Brosseau, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham Monday when first baseman Ji-Man Choi was activated from the injured list, was recalled.
