The Toronto Blue Jays place David Purcey on the D.L.
The Blue Jays have placed 28-year old lefty reliever David Purcey on the 15-day disabled list with strained ligaments in his right foot. Purcey has pitched in 24 games (0 starts) for the Jays this year and he is 0-1 with 1 save, a 2.81 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. The Jays have recalled 29-year old lefty Jesse Carlson to replace Purcey in the pen. Carlson has pitched in 45 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball this year and he is 3-1 with 4 saves, a 4.24 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. He has pitched in 142 games (0 starts) in his two years with the Jays and he is 8-8 with 2 saves, a 3.52 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. Carlson should do a good job for the Jays.
