ARLINGTON, Texas — The Rangers placed all-star third baseman Adrian Beltre on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring prior to Saturday night’s game against the Blue Jays. Beltre will be out an estimated two to three weeks. The Rangers recalled infielder Chris Davis from Triple-A Round Rock. Beltre left Friday night’s game against Toronto after injuring his hamstring while running the bases. An MRI on Saturday revealed a Grade 1 strain.
Reds’ Cozart injures elbow.
Reds rookie shortstop Zach Cozart hyperextended his left elbow while trying to make a tag in the fourth inning against Atlanta, forcing him to leave the game in severe pain.
Atlanta pitcher Derek Lowe bunted with Nate McLouth on first base. First baseman Joey Votto fielded and threw to second, where Cozart tried to catch the ball and tag the sliding McLouth simultaneously. Cozart’s left elbow extended backward from the impact.
Marlins’ Volstad sent down.
Marlins right-hander Chris Volstad was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans in the wake of his latest rocky outing. Volstad lasted only five innings and gave up four runs, three earned, against the Mets on Friday. That lifted his ERA to 5.58, third-highest in the major leagues.
Orioles’ Scott out for season.
Orioles left fielder Luke Scott will miss the remainder of the season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He was removed from the 15-day disabled list Friday, but didn’t get through the entire game against the Angels.
