RAYS PUT PITCHERS ON DISABLED LIST
MIAMI — Scott Kazmir is out for at least two weeks, and Troy Percival’s career might be finished. Both pitchers were placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday by the Rays.
Kazmir, who has a left quadriceps strain, remained with the team. The 39-year-old Percival, sidelined by right shoulder tendinitis, flew home to California to discuss his baseball future with his family.
