Red Sox Place Schilling On 60-Day Disabled List

BOSTON (AP) ― The Boston Red Sox have placed right-hander Curt Schilling on the 60-day disabled list.

The 41-year-old is rehabilitating his right shoulder and is expected to be sidelined at least until the All-Star break.

Schilling has said he would have preferred surgery on the shoulder, but the team insisted that he first try rehab.

Schilling denied he was hurt when he signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Red Sox in November.

Moving Schilling to the disabled list cleared space for Boston to sign right-hander Lincoln Holdzkom to the team's 40-man roster.

Holdzkom pitched for the Red Sox in the minors last season. He was selected by Philadelphia in the Rule 5 draft last December, but was placed on waivers this week.
