Daniel Lynch Injury: Shelved with elbow issue

The Royals placed Lynch on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left elbow nerve irritation.

The injury may have played a part in Lynch's recent struggles; the lefty reliever has allowed four earned runs on 10 hits and four walks in 7.2 innings over his last seven appearances. Kansas City recalled right-hander Jonathan Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha to replace Lynch in the bullpen.
