Lucas Erceg Injury: To IL with back injury

Erceg was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a lower-back strain.

The most recent news was that Erceg was unavailable due to illness, but this back issue is likely the main reason he hasn't pitched since May 24. His IL placement is retroactive to May 27, so he could return June 12 against the Yankees if he misses the minimum amount of time.
