Padres disable Latos, Adams

Baseball Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Diego Padres have placed pitchers Mat Latos and Mike Adams on the 15-day disabled list.

Latos will be out of action due to a strained left oblique muscle suffered when he was trying to hold back a sneeze last Friday in Colorado. The right- handers' stint on the DL will be retroactive to July 9.

He had picked up his 10th victory of the season the night before and is 10-4 with a 2.45 earned run average in 17 starts this season.

The injury actually coincides with San Diego's plan to limit the 22-year-old's innings in his first full big league season. Padres' skipper Bud Black said in spring training that the team would like to keep Latos' workload to between 150-180 innings in 2010.

Adams will be shelved with the same injury that Latos incurred after making an eighth-inning pitch to Ian Stewart in Sunday's game at Colorado. His stay on the disabled list will be retroactive to July 12.

The veteran right-hander is 2-1 with a 2.18 ERA in 42 relief outings this season.

San Diego has recalled pitcher Ernesto Frieri and outfielder Luis Durango from Triple-A Portland to take the vacated roster spots.

Frieri was 3-1 with a 1.43 ERA in 34 appearances for the Beavers and was holding opposing hitters to a .114 batting average.

Durango was batting .292 with 19 runs batted in and 28 stolen bases in 74 minor league games. He had five hits in 13 at-bats earlier this season in a six-game stint with the Padres.
