Description: Padres starter Clayton Richard (intestinal virus) has been placed on the disabled list, according to UTSanDiego.com. | Insight: Richard lost 12 pounds since battling flu-like symptoms in April, according to manager Bud Black. Perhaps that explains why he has allowed 37 hits and 25 earned runs in 26 1/3 innings this season. Tyson Ross has been activated, but he will serve as a reliver since he cannot currently swing a bat due to the partial dislocation of his left shoulder that he suffered last month. San Diego will go with a four-man rotation for the next week. | | |
