Blue Jays' A.J. Cole: Heads to injured list

Cole (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Neck soreness has sidelined Cole since his May 27 appearance, and the issue must be serious enough to justify a longer absence. Cole has impressed with a 1.13 ERA and a 7:1 K:BB ratio out of the bullpen this year, albeit in a small, eight-inning sample size. Jeremy Beasley was recalled Wednesday to fill Cole's roster spot.
