Erstwhile closer and setup man for the Cardinals, Jason Isringhausen has been placed on the 15-day DL with what is described as a "right hand laceration."
Isringhausen has an ERA of 8.00 this season and has blown five saves. Chris Perez, one of the Cardinals top relief prospects, has been recalled to take Isringhausen's roster spot.
The official line is he hurt his hand slamming it on a television after the blown save on Friday. As lacerations go, it must have been subtle because he pitched three times with it.
