Cleveland — Michael Brantley’s right shoulder needs more rest.

The Indians placed their star left fielder on the 15-day disabled list Saturday — retroactive to May 10 — because Brantley is still having issues with his surgically repaired shoulder. This is Brantley’s second trip to the DL this season.

Brantley has been bothered by inflammation and fatigue in his shoulder, which he injured late last season while trying to make a diving catch in Minnesota. He had surgery in November.

The 28-year-old recovered more quickly than expected during spring training, and was hoping to be on the club’s opening-day roster.

However, after he had some discomfort, the Indians took a cautious approach and kept him out when the season started.

One of the club’s best players, Brantley’s batting .231 (9 of 39) with seven RBIs in 11 games. Last season, he batted .310 with 15 homers, a league-leading 45 doubles and 84 RBIs in 137 games.

Yankees Add Arms

New York — In the wake of Luis Severino’s arm injury, the New York Yankees have made a flurry of roster moves to reinforce their pitching staff.

Right-handers Chad Green and Conor Mullee were called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and added to the bullpen before Saturday’s game. Rookie catcher Gary Sanchez was optioned back to Triple-A, and Severino was placed on the 15-day disabled list, interrupting his dreadful sophomore season.

Impressive as a rookie last year, the 22-year-old Severino is 0-6 with a 7.46 ERA in seven starts.

He left Friday night’s 7-1 loss to the White Sox in the third inning and was diagnosed with a strained right triceps.

Nationals Extend GM

Washington — The Washington Nationals picked up the contract option for Mike Rizzo that keeps the president of baseball operations and general manager with the organization through the 2018 season.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The Nationals exercised the option before the June 15 deadline.

Rizzo joined the organization in 2007 and was named GM in 2010, the same year he selected Bryce Harper No. 1 overall in the first-year player draft. Washington won the NL East in 2012 and 2014.

Rizzo was promoted to president of baseball operations during the 2013 season.
