Cubs place Silva on DL, recall two

Baseball Betting Lines

08/02/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs placed right-handed pitcher Carlos Silva on the 15-day disabled list on Monday, among three roster moves.

Silva is sidelined as he undergoes a cardiac evaluation after he was forced to leave Sunday's 8-7 loss to Colorado after one-third of an inning due to an irregular heart rate.

Silva received the loss despite facing just four batters, allowing two hits and two runs. He complained of difficulty breathing and was removed, and paramedics diagnosed him with the abnormal heart rate.

To fill out the roster, the club recalled right-handers Casey Coleman and Thomas Diamond from Triple-A Iowa.

The 23-year-old Coleman had a 10-7 record to go with a 4.07 earned run average in 20 starts with Iowa this year. He is the third generation of right-handed pitchers in the family to reach the majors, following grandfather Joe, who played from 1942-55 and earned All-Star honors in 1948 and father Joe, who pitched from 1965-79 and was named to the All-Star team in 1972 and 1976.

Diamond, 27, was 5-4 with a 3.16 with the Triple-A club prior to his recall. Over 60 minor league appearances -- 57 starts -- he has compiled a 28-16 mark while pitching to a 3.73 ERA.
