The Pirates placed starting pitcher Ian Snell on the 15-day disabled list Thursday in order to make room on the active roster for new acquisiton relief pitcher Denny Bautista.
Snell was diagnosed with medial epicondylitis in his right elbow – his pitching elbow – during Sunday's start against Toronto. The injury needs rest and should not require surgery.
The Pirates acquired Bautista Wednesday in a trade with Detroit in which Pittsburgh sent Kyle Pearson to the Tigers. Bautista will pitch out of middle relief to start but could move into a later role in the bullpen.
