The Diamondbacks have placed starting pitcher Randy Johnson on the 15-day disabled list, citing “muscle tightness in back” as the issue. If it were something that minor, would he even be placed on the DL in the first place? Me thinks Arizona is hiding something.

So far this season Johnson has started 9 games for a record of 4-2. This year he has an ERA of 3.52, which is his lowest since 2004. Unfortunately, he’s also on pace for the least games he’s played since 1996, when he pitched in only 14 games for the Mariners. Edgar Gonzalez will take Randy’s spot against the Orioles, and Enrique Gonzalez (no relation) has been called up to join the Diamondback’s bullpen until the Big Unit makes his Big Recovery.
