Sherrill goes on DL
Reliever George Sherrill has been placed on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to Aug. 16) with inflammation in his left shoulder. If it is nothing more than that, he would be eligible to return to the active duty on Sept. 1, the day rosters expand from 25 to 40.
Sherrill informed manager Dave Trembley yesterday that he was unable to loosen up before the series opener against the Red Sox. He was examined today and underwent an MRI, leading to the decision to DL him. Presumably, Jim Johnson will take over the the closer role for now, though Trembley could simply go with a bullpen by committee and play the matchups in the ninth inning.
