Connelly Early lands on 15-day IL with elbow inflammation
The Red Sox starter left his most recent outing early and has now been officially placed on the injured list with elbow trouble.
Connelly Early was placed on the 15-day IL after exiting his June 25 start against the Yankees with elbow discomfort. The team diagnosed the issue as a hyperextension. Manager Chad Tracy and Early himself downplayed the severity, but elbow injuries in pitchers carry inherent risk. The Red Sox rotation will need to adjust while Early is sidelined.
