ST. PETERSBURG — INF Tim Beckham was placed on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain suffered Saturday.
Beckham said before the game that he was going to receive treatment during the game and felt he could be used as a pinch-hitter if there was a need.
He said he felt what he described as a cramp Saturday when running to first during his sixth-inning at-bat, then felt more a of a “tug” when he crossed the base.
Beckham did not stop to talk to reporters after the game as he hurried to catch a flight back to Tampa.
