The Brewers have placed righty reliever David Riske on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow tightness. He has pitched in 1 game this season for the Brewers working 1 inning and allowing 4 hits and 2 earned runs. Riske has now pitched in 46 games (0 starts) in his career with the Brewers and he has disappointed with a 1-2 record, 5.61 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP. The Brewers have expected much more than they have gotten from Riske so far.

UPDATE: Riske will be undergoing Tommy John Surgery and he will miss the remainder of the 2009 season.
