Brad Ausmus's incredible run of never being on the disabled list in 17 years has finally come to an end. A pinched nerve in his lower back has landed him on the 15-day DL.
It's a pretty remarkable accomplishment for a catcher to never be on the DL. You've got to think that all of the wear and tear would have put him on the injured list at some point, but it never has until now. Talk about durability!
As a result of this news, A.J. Ellis has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. Ellis thought he'd be in LA at the start of the season with the injury to Russell Martin in spring training, but Martin quickly recovered to prevent that from happening.
