08/17/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Rockies on Tuesday placed right-handed pitcher Taylor Buchholz on the 15-day disabled list and recalled righty Jhoulys Chacin from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Buchholz had previously been on the 60-day DL this season due to a right elbow strain, but returned on July 24. He also missed the entire 2009 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery. This trip to the DL, however, is related to back stiffness.
Chacin will start on the mound for the Rockies on Tuesday night against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. In 12 starts this season, Chacin is 5-7 with a 3.64 earned run average.
