Blue Jays Lose Burr, Sandlin to Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed right-handed reliever Nick Sandlin on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation and right-hander Ryan Burr on the 60-day injured list due to a strained right rotator cuff. Burr, who previously missed three months with a similar shoulder issue, will be ineligible to return until at least September 10. Tommy Nance has been promoted from Triple-A Buffalo to fill Burr's roster spot. Sandlin had just returned from a two-month absence with a right lat strain before re-injuring his arm, and Justin Bruihl has been recalled from Triple-A to take Sandlin's place. Bruihl, signed in the offseason, has pitched in four major league games this year, allowing one earned run in 3.1 innings. The bullpen setbacks have forced the Blue Jays to rely on their minor league depth as they contend this season.
