NEW YORK -- The Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Zach Eflin on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday, taking another pitcher out of their depleted rotation.
Eflin was scheduled to start Wednesday's series finale against the New York Mets. But manager Brandon Hyde said Eflin felt some shoulder soreness after he pitched six effective innings in a 5-1 victory over Boston on Thursday night.
The 30-year-old Eflin is 4-0 with a 2.13 ERA in four starts since he was acquired in a July 26 trade with Tampa Bay.
Hyde said he was hopeful that Eflin would only require a minimum stint on the injured list.
