Yankees place reliever Chad Green (elbow) on 15-day IL

The New York Yankees placed reliever Chad Green on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow strain.

The right-hander, who turns 31 on Tuesday, is 1-1 with one save and a 3.00 ERA in 14 appearances this season.

Green exited Thursday's 9-6 win at Baltimore in the sixth inning with discomfort in his right forearm.

"It's definitely a concern right now," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday.

Green is 33-22 wi
