Joe Boyle Sidelined with Right Elbow Strain; Lands on IL

The Tampa Bay Rays placed pitcher Joe Boyle on the 15-day injured list on Saturday, retroactive to Friday, due to a right elbow strain. The injury is a setback for the young pitcher and the Rays' rotation, which is already dealing with multiple absences. Boyle will likely undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the strain and establish a rehabilitation program. In the meantime, the Rays will need to shuffle their pitching staff to cover his innings during his stay on the IL.
