Orioles' Chris Tillman (shoulder) placed on the disabled list

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 21, with inflammation in his right shoulder.

What It Means:

The Orioles are hopeful that he will be ready to return to the rotation as soon as he is eligible on September 5.

While Tillman's 3.76 ERA is a big improvement from last season, he is still sporting a shaky 4.56 SIERA that falls below his career average.
