DENVER -- Feeling less effective over the past couple of weeks because of inflammation in his right shoulder, Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.
Ottavino, the primary right-handed setup man, has struggled with control all season. He has managed a 2.57 ERA in 23 appearances, but with 15 walks in 21 innings and a 1.43 WHIP (higher than any full season in his career), he decided to take some time to heal. One hit and two walks (one intentional) to four batters during Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners led to the decision.
