Pirates place Archer on injured list
PITTSBURGH — Chris Archer has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, one day after being removed following the first inning of his start against the Washington Nationals.
Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Archer will not throw for at least a week, then be re-evaluated.
In other moves Wednesday, the Pirates placed right-hander Clay Holmes on the 10-day IL with right quadriceps discomfort while recalling right-handers Dario Agrazal and Parker Markel from Triple-A Indianapolis.
