The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right elbow inflammation.
The move is retroactive to Monday.
Pivetta was forced from Sunday’s 7-2 win over the Colorado Rockies in the fourth inning due to stiffness in the elbow.
He retired his first nine batters and threw a 92.2 mph four-seam fastball — 1.9 mph below his season average — on his 46th pitch.
Pivetta, 33, is 1-2 with a 5.54 ERA this season. He was 13-5 with a 2.87 ERA last year for San Diego.
In the corresponding roster move Tuesday, San Diego recalled right-hander Alek Jacob from Triple-A El Paso.
