Updating a previous item, Kyle Drabek was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a ligament tear in his right elbow.

It was originally reported he was being placed on the DL with a ''UCL sprain.'' Initial tests revealed no loss of strength or stability, but Drabek is now facing the prospect of Tommy John surgery and missing more than a year of baseball. There will be more clarity on his status after he is re-evaluated by Dr. James Andrews this weekend.
