Boston Red Sox Place Pitcher Mike Timlin on 15-Day Disabled List

LOS ANGELES, 03/28/2008 -- The Boston Red Sox tonight placed right-handed pitcher Mike Timlin on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 20, with a laceration on his right ring finger.

The announcement was made by Boston Red Sox Executive Vice President/General Manager Theo Epstein.

Mike Timlin sustained the injury when he was hit by a ground ball on March 19 versus Toronto in Fort Myers, Fla. He had a 5.63 ERA in seven relief appearances this spring. The right-hander, who ranks 10th on the all-time list with 1,011 career appearances, was 2-1 with a 3.42 ERA in 50 games with the Red Sox in 2007.

With the move, the Boston Red Sox reached the overall Major League opening day roster limit of 25 players.
