DR HQ: Another top tier starter heads to the DL

Chris Sale (LHP, CHW)
Injury: Strained flexor muscle – left forearm. He complained of forearm soreness after throwing a career high 127 pitches in last start. MRI ruled out noticeable damage to the ulnar collateral ligament.
DL date: April 18

Estimated 2014 effect upon return: To be determined.

Mark Trumbo (OF, ARI)
Injury: Stress fracture – left foot. Trumbo also revealed he was having plantar fasciitis issues with the foot in spring training.
DL date: April 23
Estimated DL time: Until he sees a foot specialist it's all...

Almost!
