Blue Jays placed RHP Ramon Ortiz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 3, with a right elbow strain.

Ortiz injured his elbow during Sunday's game and is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday. He turned 40 years old in May, so if it's a serious injury, there's a real chance that his career will be over.

Blue Jays designated RHP Ramon Ortiz for assignment.

Ramon Ortiz - S - Blue Jays

Ramon Ortiz allowed one run over seven innings as the Blue Jays beat the Giants on Wednesday.

Ortiz scattered six hits and a walk in his seven innings, striking out just one. The right-hander has turned in two straight good outings, but there's not a lot of reason to think his good luck will continue -- and even if it does, he offers little for fantasy owners. He'll start next against the Rays next week.

Ramon Ortiz will start Wednesday against the Giants.

He'll start in place of Brandon Morrow, who has been pushed back to Saturday. Ortiz tossed five innings of one-run ball Friday against the Red Sox, but he shouldn't be trusted in fantasy leagues.

Ramon Ortiz - S - Blue Jays

Ramon Ortiz tossed five innings of one-run ball Friday in a loss to the Red Sox.

While Ortiz took the loss, the Blue Jays couldn't have asked for much more under the circumstances. The 40-year-old right-hander gave up five hits and five walks, but an RBI double by Will Middlebrooks was all the offense the Red Sox could muster against him. It's not clear if Ortiz will get another start, but he shouldn't be a consideration in fantasy leagues.

Ramon Ortiz - S - Blue Jays

Ramon Ortiz is tentatively scheduled to start Friday against the Red Sox.

The Blue Jays need a spot-starter since Brandon Morrow has been pushed back to Sunday due to a stiff neck. Ortiz, 40, is not an option in fantasy leagues.
