MILWAUKEE (AP) -The Brewers put reliever David Riske on the 15-day disabled list because of a hyperextended right elbow and purchased the contract of journeyman minor league pitcher Mark DiFelice on Thursday.
Riske hurt himself in the eighth inning of Wednesday night's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers and immediately left the game. He declined later to talk to reporters.
Riske, who signed a three-year, $13 million contract in the offseason, is 0-1 with one save and a 4.71 ERA in 18 appearances.
DiFelice, an 11-year veteran of the minor leagues with Colorado, Baltimore, Washington, the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee, also had two stints in the independent Atlantic League in 2005 and 2006 before signing with the Brewers.
The former 15th round pick has never appeared in the majors. The righty was 3-0 with a 3.91 ERA in four starts with Triple-A Nashville, striking out 28 and walking just one in 23 innings.
