CHICAGO (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Yankees placed reliever Diego Moreno on the 15-day disabled list Sunday and recalled right-hander Branden Pinder from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Manager Joe Girardi said the back of Moreno’s right elbow is bothering him, and he will be examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad on Monday. Moreno allowed four runs and four hits in three innings in the Yankees’ 8-2 loss to the White Sox on Saturday.
“He didn’t say anything to us during the game,” Girardi said. “He said in the middle of the night it kind of started aching and it was sore today, so we just decided to DL him right away.
