On Opening Day, we were greeted with the news that the 2015 season would start with a record 115 players on the disabled list. This number will increase with retroactive DL moves are made in the coming days. That just means we have our work cut out for us this season starting from the beginning. On to the injuries…

DL date: April 7
Estimated DL time: This doesn’t appear to be a serious injury, though...
