ATLANTA -- There isn't much that veteran Chris Capuano hasn't experienced when it comes to his left elbow.
Thus he knew the best way to handle the soreness and stiffness he felt in it after his one inning Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field was to stop throwing for a bit.
Manager Craig Counsell and pitching coach Derek Johnson agreed, and the Brewers put Capuano on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, prior to the series finale with the Braves.
"He's just at the point where it was sore and we need to be safe with it, and just kind of stop and let him focus on getting rid of any inflammation that's in there before he has to throw in a competitive situation again," said Counsell.
