Wei-Ying Chen (Baltimore) was placed on the 15-day DL on Tuesday. From an AP report posted at ESPN:
"It's one of those things that's tough to handicap the severity of it," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "There's three grades, and I think his was in the middle. If you look at the history of these things, it gives you the idea that it is a little later than sooner. We'll take whatever comes our way."

Former Chunichi Dragon Wei-Ying Chen left his start on Sunday with an oblique strain. From MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli:
Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen exited the series finale against the Twins with a right oblique strain after tossing five scoreless innings, putting a damper on another impressive Baltimore road win.
... But the good vibes that went along with another double-digit hit effort and a trio of homers was lost when Chen walked off the mound, grabbing his side following Eduardo Escobar's groundout to end the fifth. Oblique strains almost always require a trip to the disabled list and Chen -- the only Orioles pitcher to start 20 games last year -- has been arguably the team's best starter.
"I don't think that happens," Chen, through interpreter Tim Lin, said of going on the DL. "It's not that serious to me. I think it's just a cramp and we'll see what's going to happen tomorrow. We will re-evaluate tomorrow, and hopefully it's just a cramp."
Orioles manager Buck Showalter echoed that optimism and wasn't ready to count out Chen, who said postgame he wasn't in any pain.

| Hiroyuki Nakajima | OAK | DNP | From Athletics Scout.com: It was looking as though Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima was getting close to 100 percent following his left hamstring strain suffered in spring training. But after just seven innings and a scheduled day off, Nakajima was held out of Triple-A Sacramento’s lineup Sunday and will head to Oakland for further examination early this week, according to an official statement from the River Cats.
