No surprise. The $17 million man needs time to get his head on straight & start pitching better to give his team a chance to win when he starts. 7 to 9 runs given up per start takes your team out of a game pretty fast.
The 15-day DL stint, retro to May 12th, has Lackey missing 2 starts. He will probably throw again in Detroit on Friday, May 27th or Saturday, May 28th. With all the rain in the forecast it could play havoc with his return date.
The DL time will allow Lackey to clear his head. He can get ready to rejoin the team on the road & resume his starts every 5 days.
