Mariners closer J.J. Putz was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday,
one day after feeling discomfort while throwing a pitch in the ninth inning
against the Rangers.
Putz, who saved a career-high 40 games in 2007, was diagnosed with
inflammation in the ribcage on his right side.
The Mariners selected right-hander Roy Corcoran from Triple-A Tacoma to take
Putz's spot on the roster.
Putz said the pain began after throwing a split-finger fastball to Michael
Young on the third pitch of the at-bat in the ninth. Putz wound up blowing
the save. During a press conference Wednesday, Putz said it felt "like an
icepick stabbing inside."
The right-hander had a precautionary MRI exam done Wednesday, and it revealed
mild costochondritis on his right side, a Mariners release said.
Costochondritis is inflammation where cartilage attaches to a rib.
Corcoran, 27, was one of Seattle's final cuts this spring after posting an
0-1 record with a 6.75 ERA -- four earned runs in 5 1/3 innings in five
relief appearances. Corcoran spent the 2007 season at Triple-A Albuquerque in
the Florida Marlins organization.
