Orioles place Randy Wolf on 60-day disabled list with torn elbow ligament

Share

The Baltimore Orioles placed left-handed pitcher Randy Wolf on the 60-day disabled list Wednesday with a torn ligament in his left elbow.

Manager Buck Showalter said that Wolf, who was 2-0 with a 5.28 earned-run average in five games with the Orioles since signing as a free agent on Aug. 31, felt discomfort in his elbow during the fifth inning of his start Saturday in Boston.

Baltimore purchased Bill Hall’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk. The 32-year-old Hall, who plays both infield and outfield, will be used to help out in the outfield while Lew Ford recovers from a groin injury. Hall batted .222 with a home run in seven games with the Orioles earlier this season.

Jimenez done for season

Cleveland Indians right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez won’t pitch again this season because of a sprained right ankle. Jimenez was examined Monday in Cleveland after having some problems in his previous two starts. He was 9-17 with a 5.55 ERA.

Left-hander Rafael Perez had arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder Wednesday in Wilmington, Del. Perez is expected to begin throwing in two months and recover in time for spring training. He was 0-1 with a 3.52 ERA in eight appearances and last pitched April 25.
