"The Red Sox will place relievers Dan Wheeler and Bobby Jenks on the disabled list prior to Thursday's game against the Angels in order to clear roster spots for right-hander Scott Atchison (recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket) and left-hander Rich Hill (selected from Pawtucket) (WEEI)."
Jenks and Wheeler have been huge disappointments so far for the Red Sox. I kind of expected it from Jenks, but I am shocked that Wheeler has been as bad as he has been. So far Wheeler has an 11.32 ERA in 11 appearances this year, and this will be just the first time he has ever been to the DL in his career.
Jenks has an arm cramp, but has been terrible anyways going 1-2 with a 9.35 ERA in 11 games this year. So, this could actually be a good thing for the Sox. Atchison has a 1.04 ERA, with 17 strikeouts, and 1 walk in 17 1/3 innings and Hill has a 1.13 ERA, with 18 strikeouts, 5 walks in 16 innings of work for Pawtucket. Hill has been especially tough against left handers as they have .100 batting average against him this year.
