Rays send Chris Archer to DL with left abdominal strain

The Tampa Bay Rays placed pitcher Chris Archer on the 10-day disabled list with a left abdominal strain on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Archer left his last start early with tightness in his core. After getting fully examined on Monday, the abdominal strain was diagnosed. While we don't know the severity, Archer is not expected to be after just a minimum stay on the DL.

Archer tossed 76 1/3 innings this season and posted a 4.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 3-4 record with 76 strikeouts.
