Seo put on disabled list

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays put pitcher
Jae Seo on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left
groin.

Seo left in the third inning of Sunday's game against Cleveland
with groin soreness. He also departed his start on Aug. 3 against
Detroit with tightness in his groin.

"He felt it a little lower in his leg, which I didn't think is
good," Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon said.

Seo, acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a five-player
trade on June 27, is 1-5 with 4.40 ERA in 11 games, including 10
starts, with Tampa Bay.

The Devil Rays plan to call up a pitcher, possibly right-hander
Jason Hammel from Triple-A Durham, to start Friday's game at
Baltimore.

Tampa Bay outfielder Jonny Gomes, who has been limited to
designated hitter most of the season because of a right shoulder
injury, might undergo season-ending surgery. The team and Gomes are
currently looking at that possibility.

"We'll know more about that in the next couple days," Maddon
said.

Gomes had 13 hits in his first 105 at-bats after the All-Star
break. After hitting 14 homers in his first 40 games this season,
he had six over the next 77.
