Mariners' Yimi Garcia: Placed on injured list
The Seattle Mariners placed Yimi Garcia on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday, due to right elbow inflammation.Garcia will go on the IL with elbow trouble for the second time this season. As a member of the Blue Jays, he landed on the shelf in June due to right elbow neuritis, and his return was delayed due to neck stiffness. He has struggled since joining the Mariners in late July, posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across nine innings, and he has given up at least one earned run in each of his last three outings. Given his prior injury history, Garcia could be sidelined beyond the 15-day window, putting his availability for Seattle's playoff push in jeopardy. The Mariners recalled southpaw Gabe Speier from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Yimi Garcia recorded his 12th hold in a win over the White Sox on Sunday, firing a perfect eighth inning.Garcia was just acquired via trade with the Blue Jays on Friday, and he's been put right to work with the Seattle Mariners.
