Oblique strain forces Faria to disabled list

As the Rays expected, Jake Faria's oblique injury is sending him to the disabled list.

Tampa Bay placed the right-hander on the 10-day DL on Wednesday with a left oblique strain -- a day after he exited his start against the Red Sox at Tropicana Field in the third inning.

To take Faria's spot on the roster, the Rays called up left-hander Vidal Nuno from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

Manager Kevin Cash had said after Tuesday's game that he expected Faria to miss time, but the team sent Faria to get examined before making the roster decision.
