BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have placed first baseman Derrek Lee on the 15-day disabled list and second baseman Brian Roberts on the 7-day DL.
Both moves, made Thursday, are retroactive to May 17. Lee has a left oblique muscle strain and Roberts has been sidelined with a concussion.
Lee is hitting .231 with four homers and 14 RBIs. Roberts is hitting .221 with three home runs and 19 RBIs.
After using the entire bullpen in Wednesday night’s 15-inning loss to the New York Yankees, the Orioles recalled two relievers from Triple-A Norfolk, right-hander Chris Jakubauskas and lefty Troy Patton.
Jakubauskas pitched in three games with the Orioles in April. Patton was 1-0 with a 2.60 ERA in six games with Norfolk.
