Burton Placed on DL

Jared Burton, Rule 5 draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds, has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a "strained left hamstring."  In his daily updates, Lee Sinins mused that Burton's injury is probably actually "Rule 5itis."  (Meaning that Rule 5 draft picks must remain on the major league roster for the entire season, so many end up on the disabled list with phantom injuries.)  This may be my last post about Jared Burton for a while!
