BASEBALL SEASON has been underway for eight short weeks, but, unbelievably, in that time period, 108 major league pitchers have gone on the disabled list.
The worst-case scenario is the Seattle Mariners, who have their first four starters on the DL and had eight pitchers go on the DL in the first eight weeks. That might seem unbelievable, but the Mariners are not alone.
The Los Angeles Angels have had nine pitchers on the DL. The Cincinnati Reds, San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays have had seven each. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, LA Dodgers, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays and Atlanta Braves have all had five.
