Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow is expected to miss four to six weeks after an MRI revealed a mild forearm strain on Saturday.
The Rays placed Glasnow, who is 6-1 with a 1.86 ERA, on the 10-day injured list and recalled infielder Andrew Velazquez from Triple-A Durham.
Glasnow, 25, exited Friday’s game against the visiting New York Yankees in the sixth inning due to what the team said then was right forearm tightness.
Glasnow exited after striking out Gleyber Torres for the first out of the sixth with runners on first and second. He waved to the trainer, who did not see him initially before coming out.
The right-hander also was visited by a trainer in the first inning when he appeared to come off the mound awkwardly. He stayed in the game and threw one warmup pitch.
The Rays also activated recently acquired catcher Travis d’Arnaud, making room for him by sending catcher Nick Ciuffo to Durham.
