Shipley placed on DL with elbow inflammation

LOS ANGELES -- Braden Shipley's return to the Major Leagues was put on hold before it even got started.

The right-hander underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation, sending him to the 10-day disabled list Monday after receiving a cortisone injection. Right-hander Silvino Bracho was recalled in a corresponding move.

Shipley had just been recalled Saturday as a roster replacement for starter Kris Medlen, who allowed seven runs in four innings Friday against the Houston Astros.

"This just kind of jumped up on him after a throwing program on Sunday," manager Torey Lovullo said of Shipley.
