NEW YORK (AP) -The Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Daniel Cabrera on the disabled list Friday and said Brian Burres will start Saturday against the New York Yankees.
Cabrera, 8-10 with a 5.25 ERA in 30 starts, experienced pain and tingling in his elbow during a side session Wednesday. An MRI on Thursday revealed no damage and the team said he has a sprained elbow.
Cabrera is done for the year but his DL stint was made retroactive to Sunday. He won’t need surgery.
“Just rest, six to eight weeks I believe,” manager Dave Trembley said.
Cabrera was originally slated to start Friday but Radhames Liz was moved up to start on regular rest in the opener of the three-game series.
Burres has been in and out of the rotation this year, going 7-9 with a 6.32 ERA in 28 games, 21 starts.
“He started before and he’s probably the most stretched-out guy,” Trembley said.
Chris Waters is scheduled to start the final regular-season game at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night.
