Indians put Hagadone on disqualified list

CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Hagadone will not be pitching for the Cleveland Indians or any other team for a while.

The Indians placed Hagadone on their minor league disqualification list Sunday, one day after optioning him to Triple-A Columbus. The left-hander will be examined by hand specialist Dr. Tom Graham at Cleveland Clinic on Monday.

“This is the result of a self-inflicted injury to his pitching hand,” Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said. “We are certainly disappointed in his reaction. We all share his frustration, but wish he had handled it differently.”

Antonetti would not reveal details, except to say the injury came after Hagadone had a bad relief outing against Tampa Bay on Friday night. The 26-year-old rookie gave up two hits, walked two and allowed two runs while recording two outs.

Hagadone will not be paid while he is on the disqualified list, but can participate in workouts when he is cleared to do so.
