The San Diego Padres have placed right-hander Tim Stauffer
on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, with a strained pitching elbow.
Stauffer, who starred at the University of Richmond, had been expected to start Thursday’s season-opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but manager Bud Black
said Sunday that Stauffer was bothered by soreness in his arm.
To take Stauffer’s roster spot, the Padres recalled right-hander Brad Brach from Triple-A Tucson
on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, with a strained pitching elbow.
