Injury: Elbow pain. As stated in one of my preseason write-ups, pitchers chose not to undergo surgery and are at high risk for developing the same injury.
DL date: April 16

Ryan Hanigan (C, CIN)
Injury: Strained left oblique
DL date: April 20

DL date: April 20
Estimated DL time: If the tendinitis responds to treatment...
