Tigers minor leaguer McBride placed on DL at Triple-A Toledo

Left-hander Macay McBride was placed on the disabled list today at Triple-A Toledo with soreness in his throwing elbow, a troubling sign for a pitcher whom the Tigers had viewed as a candidate to pitch in the majors this year.

McBride, 25, lasted only one inning in his start for the Mud Hens on Saturday against Durham.

He is expected to undergo an MRI exam and X-ray in Detroit, likely today or Monday, according to his agent, B.B. Abbott.

McBride missed last year’s Arizona Fall League with a small stress fracture in the elbow, but he recovered in time to participate in spring training. Now, though, it’s unclear how long he will be out.

Another injury. No surprise there. At least it's a minor leaguer this time.

Coming soon: A better signature!

This is happening all over the Major and Minor Leagues this year!

maybe we should recruit 'em even younger, and then have the cut-off age at 25!
