MLB disabled list (with statistics)

Mark DeRosa has a strained tendon in his left wrist and expects to miss three or four games. DeRosa was hurt in the fourth inning Tuesday and was removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth when the wrist worsened. He had been concerned the injury was serious, but X-rays and an exam revealed no break and no serious issues. St. Louis also said third baseman Troy Glaus will report to its spring training complex to continue therapy in an often troubled rehab from right shoulder surgery in January. The 32-year-old could begin a rehab assignment in a few weeks.

Xavier Nady will have ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow after re-injuring it during a minor league rehab game. The outfielder was placed on the disabled list on April 16, a retroactive move two days after he felt a sharp pain in his right elbow while making a throw at Tampa Bay. Nady, who played only seven games in what would have been his first full season with the Yankees, will require roughly 10-12 months to recover.

Rookie left-hander Josh Outman has undergone ligament replacement surgery on his pitching elbow. The 24-year-old is officially done for the season, and history suggests he could miss the 2010 campaign as well. The recovery time for pitchers after such a surgery is typically no less than 12 months, with 18 months on the high side. Outman went 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA this season in 14 appearances, including 12 starts.

The injury-riddled New York Mets got some good news Tuesday when a second examination of All-Star center fielder Carlos Beltran's bruised right knee also indicated surgery is not required. Beltran, who is in line to be selected as a starting NL All-Star outfielder, is expected to skip the July 14 game and not return until after the break. He was hitting .336 with eight homers, 20 doubles, 40 RBIs and 11 stolen bases.

Third baseman Mike Lowell was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hip. Lowell had fluid drained from his hip and received an injection designed to alleviate inflammation in the surgically repaired joint. There was a chance Lowell could have returned to action later this week, but the Red Sox decided it was best to give him an extended rest. The 35-year-old is batting .282 with 10 home runs and 41 RBIs.

Derek Jeter returned to the New York Yankees' lineup Sunday, while outfielder Johnny Damon was sidelined again with a flu bug that's going around the clubhouse. Jeter missed the previous two games against the Mets with a fever, headache and cough. Damon missed Saturday's 5-0 win due to flu symptoms and was still sluggish Sunday. Several Yankees have been sick lately, but manager Joe Girardi said everyone except Damon was available against the Mets.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes underwent surgery Friday to repair a broken bone in his left hand, a day after being hit by a pitch from Texas right-hander Scott Feldman. Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch said Byrnes is expected to miss between 4-8 weeks. Byrnes is the 10th player Arizona has put on the disabled list this season.

Xavier Nady re-injured his elbow and appears headed for season-ending surgery. Nady felt pain when making a throw during a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton on Thursday night. The outfielder, acquired from Pittsburgh last July, has been sidelined since hurting the elbow on April 14 at Tampa Bay. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Nady might need the ligament replaced again. Nady said in April that he had a partial ligament tear in his right elbow and originally was told that he'd likely need a season-ending operation. Following tests and exams, doctors recommended rest and strengthening exercises.

The Seattle Mariners placed starting shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt on the 15-day disabled list after he pulled his hamstring in Wednesday's 4-3 win over San Diego. Betancourt won't be eligible to come off the disabled list until July 10, just three games before the All-Star break. He was hitting .250 with two homers and 22 RBIs in 63 games this season. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Ronny Cedeno would get most of the starts at shortstop in Betancourt's absence.

Right-hander Jeff Bennett has been placed on the 15-day disabled list a day after breaking his left hand. He sustained the injury after punching a door in frustration after allowing inherited runners to score on Alex Rodriguez's two-run single in Atlanta's 8-4 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Bennett is 2-4 with a 3.18 earned-run average in 33 appearances for the Braves this season.

Rookie left-hander Josh Outman will miss his start Wednesday with tightness in his throwing arm, but the full extent of the damage will be known after further tests. The 24-year-old Outman is 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA in 14 appearances and 12 starts this season. Meanwhile, third baseman Eric Chavez had back surgery, a season-ending procedure he hopes will salvage his career. The six-time Gold Glover appeared in only eight games this season.

Carlos Beltran was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday, an enormous blow to a struggling New York Mets team already decimated by key injuries. The All-Star center fielder has an aching bone bruise on his right knee. Beltran will be eligible to come off the disabled list on July 6, but general manager Omar Minaya said the Mets could possibly hold Beltran out until after the All-Star break. The Mets already are missing star shortstop Jose Reyes and slugging first baseman Carlos Delgado. Neither is expected back soon.

Left fielder Johnny Damon was held out of the New York Yankees' lineup with a sore right calf Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. However, Damon, who was injured while tracking a flyball Saturday at Florida, hopes to return when New York continues a three-game series Wednesday. Ace CC Sabathia believes his left biceps will heal in time for his next scheduled start Friday against the Mets. New York manager Joe Girardi still isn't convinced Sabathia will be ready.

Akinori Iwamura could be back a lot sooner than expected after undergoing surgery for a knee injury that was not as severe as the Tampa Bay Rays initially suspected. Iwamura's injury had been considered season-ending, but now the Rays are reporting that the second baseman could return to game activity in six to eight weeks. Iwamura, injured on May 24, was batting .310 with no homers and 16 RBIs in 44 games.

CC Sabathia left Sunday's game against Florida with tightness in his left biceps. The New York Yankees said the 2007 AL Cy Young Award winner is day to day. Sabathia, the Yankees' biggest offseason pitching acquisition, entered 6-4 with a 3.67 ERA. Meanwhile, pitcher A.J. Burnett's suspension for throwing high and tight to Texas' Nelson Cruz has been reduced to five games from six. Manager Joe Girardi said Sunday that the suspension began immediately.
