"Shoulder Injury Puts Twins' Pitcher Brock Stewart Back on the Injured List"

The Twins of Minnesota put right-handed reliever Brock Stewart on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday due to a strain in his right shoulder.

Stewart, who is 32 years old, was previously on the 60-day DL for right shoulder tendinitis and returned on July 24. This season, he has made 16 relief appearances and has a 5.17 earned run average with no wins or losses.

Throughout his career, which includes stints with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Twins, Stewart has a record of 8-3 with a 4.95 ERA and two saves in 90 games (11 starts).

To fill the open spot on the 26-man roster, the Twins acquired right-hander Trevor Richards in a trade with the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Richards, who is 31 years old, had a record of 2-1 with a 4.24 ERA in 45 games (two starts) with the Blue Jays before being traded for minor league infielder Jay Harry.

In his career, Richards has a record of 24-27 with a 4.51 ERA in 280 games (61 starts) with the Miami Marlins, Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, and Blue Jays.
