SEATTLE (AP) 鈥� The Tampa Bay Rays placed pitcher Griffin Jax on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right elbow discomfort.
The move, retroactive to Thursday, comes a day after Jax was scratched from his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners. Reliever Casey Legumina made the start instead, as the Rays employed a bullpen day in their .
The 31-year-old right-hander has appeared in with 18 starts, and is 6-9 with a 3.63 ERA and 100 strikeouts and 30 walks.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that initial tests indicated Jax鈥檚 injury wasn鈥檛 ligament related, and that he was already showing improvement.
鈥淗e鈥檚 going to go see a doctor (Monday) and we鈥檒l probably know Wednesday or Thursday on something,鈥� Cash said. 鈥淗e feels better today, which is very encouraging.鈥�
RHP Michael Grove was recalled from Triple-A Durham to replace Jax on the active roster.
