Jays send Josh Johnson to DL

Published January 13, 2015

The Toronto Blue Jays announced Tuesday that starting pitcher Josh Johnson is headed back to the disabled list, this time due to a right forearm strain.

Johnson, who had been on the DL earlier this season due to right triceps soreness, is 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA in 16 starts. He lost six consecutive starts until throwing five innings of shutout ball in a victory at Seattle Aug. 6.

The Blue Jays are due to recall right-hander Thad Weber from Triple-A Buffalo to take Johnson's spot on the roster.
