BALTIMORE (AP) -The Orioles placed right-hander Jim Johnson on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a right shoulder injury.
Johnson, a rookie, said on Saturday that he would not pitch again this season. The move is retroactive to Sept. 1.
“The doctors and trainers are suggesting that I get shut down for the rest of the year. There are some things in there that will heal over time with a little bit of treatment,” Johnson said.
Johnson was effective as the setup man for closer George Sherrill, going 2-4 with a 2.23 ERA and one save.
