WASHINGTON (AP) -The Milwaukee Brewers placed struggling closer Eric Gagne on the 15-day disabled list with right rotator cuff tendinitis before Friday night’s game against Washington.
The move is retroactive to May 21.
Gagne, who signed with Milwaukee as a free agent in December, is 1-2 with a 6.98 ERA. The right-hander has blown five of his 15 save opportunities.
Gagne set a major league record with 84 consecutive converted saves from Aug. 28, 2002-July 5, 2004.
The Brewers recalled right-hander Tim Dillard from Triple-A Nashville, where he was 3-0 with a 2.01 ERA in 15 games.
