ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays placed second baseman Daniel Robertson on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a left thumb sprain and selected infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe, the club's No. 9 prospect, from Triple-A Durham.
"I'm supposed to see a hand specialist [Sunday], Dr. Doug Carlan," Robertson said. "And we'll go from there as far as surgery, if, when. And then I'll have more info. ... I think I'll be out for a while."
Robertson suffered his injury while making a hard, head-first slide into second base on an eighth-inning double in the Rays' 3-2 loss to the White Sox on Friday.
