Masahiro Tanaka (hamstrings) placed on DL by Yankees

The New York Yankees have placed starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (hamstrings) on the 10-day DL on Saturday.

What It Means:

Tanaka strained both of his hamstrings while running the bases in Friday night's win over crosstown rivals, the New York Mets. No word on how long they expect the right-hander to out, but strains typically take a couple of weeks, depending on the severity. Ronald Torreyes was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Tanaka owns a 4.58 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 73 strikeouts in 72 2/3 innings pitched this season.
