NEWSFLASH: Millwood to DL, Littleton promoted

Per Jamey Newberg, the Texas Rangers have placed Kevin Millwood on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 29th, due to his strained left hamstring which caused him to miss his start in Thursday's doubleheader. Taking Millwood's roster spot is reliever Wes Littleton, who has a 4.61 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 13.2 innings at AAA Oklahoma City.

Given Kevin's struggles in his last three starts (15 ER in 16.2 IP), this may not be such a bad thing. Mike Wood will take Millwood's rotation spot during his absence.
