Kansas City Royals infielder Christian Colon has been suffering with a broken finger since the beginning of the month, and on Wednesday the team officially put him on the shelf. 

Colon was placed on the team's 15-day disabled list. The move is retroactive to Sept. 7, making him eligible to be activated on the 22nd. The original injury to his middle finger occurred while Colon was fielding a ground ball on Sept. 3. 

The move opened up a spot on the playoff roster for those who weren't eligible at the Sept. 1 deadline.
