The Seattle Mariners announced that starting pitcher Felix Hernandez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right shoulder Sunday.
The news of Hernandez's injury comes one day after he became the 36th pitcher in MLB history to record 2,500 career strikeouts.

Despite the historic moment, Hernandez surrendered seven runs to the Boston Red Sox in 2 1/3 innings during the Mariners' 9-5 loss on Saturday.
