Cole Winn Injury: Lands on IL with nerve irritation

The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to nerve irritation in his right hand, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Winn's hand injury may have played a factor in his poor relief appearance in the Rangers' 5-2 loss to the Royals on Tuesday, when he hit two batters with a pitch and yielded a two-run home run across 1.1 innings. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the 25-year-old reliever won't be eligible to be reinstated from the IL until Sept. 4. Southpaw Jacob Latz was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.
