San Diego, CA (Sports Network) – San Diego Padres starting pitcher Clayton Richard was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a left shoulder strain.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-5 southpaw delivered just two pitches to Dodgers leadoff hitter Mark Ellis before bowing out of Friday’s 5-2 victory with an apparent left shoulder injury. Richard delivered an 86-mph changeup to Yasiel Puig and immediately headed to the Padres’ dugout.<\/p>\n
Richard is 2-5 with a 7.01 earned run average in 12 games (11 starts) this season.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Padres recalled pitchers Anthony Bass and Brad Boxberger from Triple-A Tucson and optioned outfielder Jaff Decker to the same club.<\/p>\n
Bass has a 4.55 ERA in 18 appearances with the Padres this season. He last played on May 27 against the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n
Boxberger is making his third stint with San Diego this season. In five relief outings, he has posted a 3.52 ERA.<\/p>\n
Decker was recalled from Tucson on Wednesday and made his major league debut one day later. He went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored in two games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
