7 years agoSan Diego Padres reliever Bryan Mitchell was placed on the disabled list Wednesday with an elbow impingement. An MRI revealed elbow tendonitis and swelling in his forearm but no ligament damage. The Padres expect Mitchell to rest for a few days then resume baseball activities once he rejoins the team in Arlington when the Padres visit the Texas Rangers. Mitchell has been a disaster this season with a 7.08 ERA and 2.03 WHIP. He was demoted from the starting rotation in early May but hasn't performed any better from the bullpen. It's possible the Padres keep him on the shelf indefinitely.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
