Where was Rey-Bill with this info? Trax: "I'm not hurt, and they know that." http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/new...=.jsp&c_id=bal Quote:
Baltimore starter Steve Trachsel didn't bother to hide his emotions on Saturday, when he was approached to discuss an injury that landed him on the disabled list. Trachsel, who has been slowed by a strained gluteus, seemed irked that he was placed on the DL without being consulted.
"It's amazing, isn't it? I haven't seen a doctor yet," he said. "It's a little bit of a surprise."
Trachsel has endured a difficult month and has pitched less than five innings in four of his last six starts. The right-hander's ERA has risen by more than a run-and-a-half -- from 3.39 to 4.95 -- in June, and Friday night was the worst of the bunch. Trachsel got just five outs against the Los Angeles Angels, who reached him for nine hits and five earned runs.
In the start before that, Trachsel worked four innings and allowed five earned runs. He said that he injured himself in that game while trying to get out of teammate Kevin Millar's path and that he's felt it ever since.
"That's all I've really got at the moment, because like I said, I haven't even seen a doctor yet," he said.
"I know Steve has been in some discomfort with that," added interim manager Dave Trembley. "He felt like it affected the way he threw last night and his preparation in between starts. He's a very regimented, routine-oriented type guy.
"He gets one more start before the break, and I think everyone's feeling was to back away from that [and] let him get a chance to get some treatment. He'll get the break at the All-Star situation and then kind of go from there."
| God, I could only dream of the PHils still trading for him.
