TORONTO (AP) — The Seattle Mariners placed right-hander Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to August 29, because of a strained left adductor.
Hancock started Friday's loss at Toronto and was shaken up in the first inning when he slid to field Nathan Lukes ' grounder and reached to tag the leaping Blue Jays outfielder.

Hancock stayed in the game and allowed eight hits in five innings, including two homers.
Hancock is 7-8 with a 3.57 ERA in 25 starts.
Manager Dan Wilson said right-hander Bryce Miller , who allowed 21 runs and five homers in four August outings, could start when Hancock's turn in the rotation comes up at Boston on Wednesday.
Right-hander Nick Davila was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and allowed three runs in one inning in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Blue Jays, Seattle's fourth straight defeat.
