The Red Sox are down another pitcher. Hopefully it's not as serious as it might sound.
The Red Sox will place pitcher Brian Johnson on the disabled list with "elbow tightness," according to Alex Speier:
Brian Johnson will be placed on DL due to elbow tightness. Evaluation coming today/tomorrow. Left Sunday's game after 4 IP, 60 pitches

It's an ominous symptom, that. There are many instances of elbow tightness that are not followed by Tommy John Surgery, but few Tommy John Surgeries that don't start with elbow tightness.
