All-Star reliever Félix Bautista was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday by the Baltimore Orioles, who can only hope his ailing elbow won't keep him sidelined for the rest of the season. “Early indications are he has some degree of injury to the ulnar collateral ligament,” Orioles general manager Mike Elias said. Although a UCL injury can lead to Tommy John surgery, Elias expressed hope that the team's closer can return to help the AL East leaders secure a playoff berth or perhaps provide aid in the playoffs.
