⚾ Royals place Hahn on IL, recall Newberry

KANSAS CITY - The Royals placed right-handed reliever Jesse Hahn on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder impingement syndrome, the club announced Monday ahead of its series opener against the Angels in Kansas City.

In a corresponding move, the Royals recalled right-hander Jake Newberry from the alternate training site.

Hahn, one of the Royals’ high-leverage relievers, felt soreness leading up to Sunday, but took advantage of the off-days last week to rest his arm. When he was warming up to enter the Royals’ 10-inning, 4-3 win over the White Sox on Sunday, Hahn felt more than soreness and was able to locate the point of pain when informing the Royals about it after pitching Sunday.

Hahn had a full examination done Monday morning in Kansas City, including X-rays that showed the impingement, but no muscle strain. He won’t throw for the next three days and will take medication to get rid of the inflammation before assessing later this week. There’s no timetable for Hahn's return, but Royals manager Mike Matheny said it will be “some time.”
