Adcock to DL, could have season-ending TJ

CINCINNATI -- The Reds may have another season-ending injury on their hands, with right-handed relief pitcher Nate Adcock being bit by the injury bug.

Adcock was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday, and he told reporters he will most likely have season-ending Tommy John surgery on Tuesday to repair a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

"It's actually terrible news," Adcock said. "Last time I pitched in Colorado, after the game my tricep locked up on me, just felt like a big cramp, a big knot just winded up.
