Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes was placed on the injured list on Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, just a few days after he exited Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals in the fifth inning.

Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes has been put on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, two days after leaving a start early against the Washington Nationals. Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Burnes is seeking a second opinion after having an MRI and had no definitive news Tuesday.
