Marcum placed on DL with elbow inflammation Shaun Marcum - S - TOR - Jul. 2Blue Jays placed RHP Shaun Marcum on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
Marcum underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2008, so there's obviously reason to be concerned here. It's too bad, as the 28-year-old right-hander has been excellent this season, posting a 3.44 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over his first 17 starts. His control hasn't been quite as sharp lately, so perhaps he has been dealing with some discomfort over his last few starts. Hopefully the rest will do him well.

Marcum (elbow) expected to miss one start Shaun Marcum - S - TOR - Jul. 2According to Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos, Shaun Marcum (elbow) is only expected to miss one start.
"It's not really a concern for us," said Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "Shaun would be the first guy to tell you that he's fine. He said he went through this last year where he stopped throwing for a week and then he was right back at it and he was fine." Marcum, who underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2008, is scheduled to undergo a precautionary MRI on Sunday or Monday. He is expected to return right after the All-Star break.
