Walkers news: August 23 -- McNaboe placed on IL; Baker called up from AAA
The St. Louis River Walkers have placed right-handed starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe on the injured list after he had to exit their August 22 game at Cleveland with back spasms.
McNaboe, 22, had pitched into the third inning when the injury occurred. St. Louis won the game 11-9.
He is expected to miss from 1-2 weeks.
In 17 starts for St. Louis, McNaboe has gone 10-4 with a 4.15 ERA.
With their bullpen dealing with fatigue issues, St. Louis has called up 24-year-old right-hander Kevin Baker from Memphis.
The closer for the Redbirds, Baker has pitched in 47 games this season with a 6-2 record, 29 saves and a 2.45 ERA.
St. Louis will likely call up a starting pitcher the next time McNaboe's spot in the rotation comes around.
