ATLANTA -- The Mariners, who have been hit with several injuries to their pitching staff this year, placed reliever Tony Zych on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a strain to his right elbow flexor bundle.
Zych joins a growing list of key pitchers on the Mariners' DL. They are already without starters Felix Hernandez, James Paxton and Hisashi Iwakuma and reliever David Phelps.
Seattle manager Scott Servais hopes Zych's injury isn't long term. The Mariners recalled Dan Altavilla from Triple-A Tacoma to take Zych's spot in the bullpen.
