Right elbow inflammation — scratched from his final pre-break start vs. the Dodgers and placed on the 15-day IL. Completely shut down from throwing. Will consult Dr. Neal ElAttrache for a second opinion on next steps. Manager Torey Lovullo called it a 'conservative, non-invasive approach' with no return timeline offered. The consultation with ElAttrache — who handles the most serious elbow cases in the sport — adds meaningful uncertainty.

Right elbow inflammation, 15-day IL retroactive to July 9. Eligible to return around July 24. First-half line: 3.12 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 92 K in 86.2 IP. No structural damage reported. Previously returned from an IL stint this season at full effectiveness.
