Clayton Richard Lands On DL
6 years agoThe San Diego Padres placed starting pitcher Clayton Richard (knee) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with left knee inflammation. The move is retroactive to Aug. 25. Second base prospect Luis Urias was also called up from Triple-A El Paso, with infielder Carlos Asuaje being sent down to El Paso. The left-handed Richard was tuned up for six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Dodgers in his last start. He hasn't been much of a fantasy option all year, sporting a 5.33 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and poor 6.1 K/9 over 27 starts. Urias should see starts regularly up the middle to close out the year and is worth considering in mixed leagues for his ability to hit for average.
