Pirates place Caminero on DL, Watson on paternity list

PITTSBURGH (AP) Right-hander Arqiumedes Caminero was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Pittsburgh Pirates, a day after he was ejected for hitting two Arizona hitters on the head with pitches.

Left-hander Tony Watson was placed on the paternity list Wednesday, and left-hander Kyle Lobstein and right-hander Rob Scahill were recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Caminero, who has a left quadriceps strain, hit Jean Segura on the helmet in the seventh inning, then hit Nick Ahmed in the chin during the eighth and was tossed by plate umpire Larry Vanover.

Vanover had warned both benches after the Diamondbacks' Evan Marshall hit David Freese on the left shoulder in the seventh.

Caminero has walked 13 and hit three in 17 innings. He is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in 19 games.

''Guys need to keep the ball down and away from the head area,'' Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said after the game. ''If a guy can't do it, then he has no business being up here in the major leagues.''

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Caminero had no intent to hit either batter.

Pittsburgh pitcher Ryan Vogelsong remained hospitalized Wednesday, two days after he was hit on the left eye by a pitch from Colorado's Jordan Lyles.

''This game can be hard, and when you get players hurt you're going to feel angst,'' Hurdle said. ''I understand where Chip is coming from but I don't agree with him.''

Watson can miss up to three days with pay while on paternity leave. The primary set-up man for closer Mark Melancon, Watson has made 10 consecutive scoreless appearances.

Lobstein and Scahill are both in their second stints with the Pirates this season.

Lobstein was 2-0 with a 4.79 ERA in nine games with Pittsburgh. He made one start for Indianapolis and pitched four scoreless innings.

Scahill had a 6.00 ERA in eight games with the Pirates and had a 2.89 ERA and three saves in nine games at Indianapolis.
