Padres' Jon Jay: Lands on disabled list Tuesday

Jay (forearm) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday.

Analysis:

This move was expected after Jay was diagnosed with a fracture in his right forearm Tuesday. He was placed on the disabled list retroactive to June 20, but it'd be highly unlikely for him to return after the minimum 15 days. His absence will leave a hole in the top of the Padres order as Jay had been one of the more effective leadoff men in baseball to start the season. The Padres recalled Alex Dickerson from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday in a corresponding move.
