Texas P Holland put on 60-day DL; Rua also shelved
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland was put on the 60-day disabled list Saturday due to a subscapular strain in right shoulder.
The team also placed outfielder Ryan Rua on the 15-day DL due to a right ankle sprain.
Holland, who left in the opening inning of his first start of the season on Friday against Houston, is not expected to throw for four weeks.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The 28-year-old lefty missed a large chunk of last season after tearing cartilage in his left knee that required surgery prior to the start of the season.
Rua suffered his injury while fielding a ball in left field during Friday's game. He started each of Texas' first five games this season in left field and has compiled a .235 batting average.
The Rangers also purchased the contract of outfielder Carlos Peguero from Round Rock and recalled pitcher Jon Edwards from the Triple-A club.
