SEATTLE – Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Bryce Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation before Wednesday afternoon’s game against the New York Yankees.
Miller, 26, struggled in May, allowing a total of 11 earned runs in his last two starts, covering nine innings. So far this season, he is 2-4 with a 5.22 ERA in eight starts.
In a corresponding move, the Mariners called up left-handed pitcher Jhonathan Díaz from Triple-A Tacoma.
Díaz, 28, has appeared in seven games for the Rainiers, with a 2-3 record and a 5.87 ERA. He made one relief appearance with Seattle earlier this season, pitching 1 1/3 innings, allowing no runs and striking out one batter against Detroit on April 1.
