ARLINGTON, Texas _ The Royals put starting pitcher Eric Skoglund on the 10-day disabled list Saturday because of a ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his pitching elbow.
Eric Stout, another left-hander, was recalled from Class AAA Omaha to take Skoglund's place on the roster. Stout, 25, made his major-league debut April 25 and also made another relief appearance with the Royals this season. He's 2-1 with a 5.30 ERA in 18 2/3 innings across 14 relief appearances for the Storm Chasers.
Skoglund labored through 41/3 innings in an 8-4 loss to the Rangers on Friday night, yielding seven hits and six earned runs.
Royals manager Ned Yost said Saturday that Skoglund had been bothered by elbow tenderness. He'll have a MRI on Monday.
