CHICAGO -- Yankees rookie right-hander Diego Moreno, who impressed the club with 5 1/3 scoreless, hitless innings of relief last week at Texas, is heading to the disabled list with discomfort in his right elbow.
Moreno reported the issue on Sunday, one day after he permitted four runs in three innings of an 8-2 loss to the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. Moreno will be seen by team physician Christopher Ahmad on Monday in New York, manager Joe Girardi said.
