KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals placed right-hander Ryan Bergert and outfielder Kyle Isbel on the injured list and recalled reliever Luinder Avila and outfielder John Rave from Triple-A Omaha before their series finale against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday.
Bergert felt some tightness in his forearm during a bullpen session on Wednesday, and was placed on the 15-day IL with a right elbow strain. The injury ends a season in which the 25-year-old Bergert arrived in a trade from San Diego at the deadline and became a solid piece of the starting rotation, including a 2.54 ERA over five starts in August.
