New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Nick Burdi was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 17, due to hip inflammation, the team announced Friday.
Burdi is the latest Yankees relief pitcher to hit the injured list during this young season. The Yankees will be without Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) for the remainder of the campaign, and Tommy Kahnle continues to work his way back from shoulder inflammation he dealt with during Spring Training.
