- Share via
DETROIT — Detroit Tigers’ right-hander Jack Morris was placed on the 21-day disabled list for the first time in his 13-year career today because of an elbow injury.
Morris has an “injury to the support structure of the inner side of the elbow” said Dr. David J. Collon, a team physician.
It is unknown when Morris suffered the injury, but the 34-year-old pitcher approached the team doctor after being shelled for four home runs in Monday’s 7-3 loss to Cleveland.
Morris opened the season with six straight losses and now is 2-7 with a 4.94 ERA. He is baseball’s winningest pitcher of the 1980s with 158 of his 179 career wins coming in this decade.
The Tigers called up right-hander Randy Nosek from their Class AA farm club at London, Ontario.
