Mark Trumbo placed on DL with rib cage strain

Mark Trumbo was placed on the disabled list Monday by the Baltimore Orioles with a rib cage strain, according to Jon Meoli on Twitter. The move is retroactive to July 30, and he is scheduled to have an MRI on Tuesday. (Jon Meoli on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
In the short term, this move creates a roster spot for the newly acquired Tim Beckham, who the Orioles acquired from the Rays prior to Monday's trade deadline. Trumbo had been struggling lately, going 0-for-21 with seven strikeouts his last four games, so it is possible this injury has been bothering him for some time. More information should be known on Tuesday or shortly after about just how much time Trumbo is going to miss, but for now, he is out for at least the minimum 10 days required.
