ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Toronto Blue Jays have placed left-handed reliever Brett Cecil on the 15-day disabled list with a muscle strain in his left arm and recalled right-hander Dustin Antolin from Triple-A Buffalo.

Cecil said he felt soreness in his left triceps after a seven-pitch outing in a 6-5 loss to Texas on Saturday night. He is 0-5 with a 5.23 ERA in 16 appearances this season.

Antolin was expected to join the club for Sunday's series finale against the Rangers. The 26-year-old is looking to make his major league debut. He is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA and three saves at Buffalo.
