The Los Angeles Dodgers place starting pitcher Eric Lauer on the injured list due to left elbow inflammation. The move happens Wednesday after Lauer’s previous start against the St. Louis Cardinals.
In that Tuesday game, Lauer allows seven runs and eight hits in three innings, in a 13-8 loss. Yahoo Sports reports Lauer says he felt good warming up and in the bullpen but “lost it” once he got on the mound, and he does not mention a possible injury at that time. Another outlet notes the IL designation comes with left elbow inflammation, with the reported impact also tied to the Dodgers’ rotation depth.
