The Cleveland Guardians placed right-hander Paul Sewald on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain, MLB.com reported Tuesday.

The move will be retroactive to Saturday.

Sewald, 35, is 1-1 with a 4.70 ERA in his first season with the Guardians. The former Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks closer is 21-26 with 86 saves and a 4.11 ERA in nine career MLB seasons with four clubs after starting his career with the New York Mets in 2017.

No corresponding move was reported with the Guardians set to return from the All-Star break Friday at home against the Athletics.
