Jason Berken will be placed on the disabled list due to right elbow discomfort. Berken will pay a visit to Dr. Lewis Yocum on Sunday, which is never a good sign. He's posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.81 WHIP over 35 appearances this season, though the numbers are skewed by an outing on July 30 when he allowed seven runs over 2 2/3 innings.
