Kodai Sangas tough season hit another snag when the Metz put him on the injured list Tuesday for lumbar spine inflammation. The right-hander got an epidural shot and can't throw for 7-10 days before they check him again. They recalled Christian Scott from AAA Syracuse to fill the spot and he's lined up to start Friday against the Angels. Dingo felt hip and back pain after his Sunday start in a double header, so they did an MRI Monday that showed issues in his lower vertebrae. He struggled hard this year with a 9.00 ERA over 5 outings, including getting pulled early against the Rockies while giving up. Three earned runs. Manager Carlos Mendoza said they had no clue about the problem until the scan results came in. The team kind of needed a breather from Sangas rough patches anyway, and now David Peterson's jumping back into the rotation for Wednesday's game after. Solid relief work. Scott had a shaky big league return last week, walking 5 and just 1 and a third innings against

Peterson earned his spot back with good relief outings, while Sangas' injury history keeps piling up hamstring last year, shoulder and calf strains. This season that limited him big time. The Metz head into a 9-game road trip hoping these rotation tweaks steady the ship.
