Cleveland, OH – Minnesota Twins pitcher Mike Pelfrey was scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Instead, he is headed to the 15-day disabled list.
The Twins placed Pelfrey on the DL with a back strain. The move is retroactive to June 19.
Pelfrey is 3-6 with a 6.11 ERA in 14 starts this season, his first with Minnesota.
