Cards’ reliever Belisle on the DL

The St. Louis Cardinals placed right-handed reliever Matt Belisle on the 15-day disabled list with elbow inflammation, retroactive to Sunday.

Right-handed reliever Marcus Hatley’s contract was purchased from Triple-A Memphis.

To make room on the 40-man roster, reliever Jordan Walden was transferred from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL.

The 35-year-old Belisle is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 30 games with 24 strikeouts in 30 innings.

The Cardinals signed Hatley as a minor-league free agent in November after he’d spent nine years in the Cubs’ organization.

The Diamondbacks recalled right-hander Matt Stites from Triple-A Reno and optioned right-hander Allen Webster to the Aces.
