Howell was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, Gregor Chisolm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager John Gibbons was vague on the injury, merely saying "It's all connected" when asked if this injury was connected to a prior shoulder issue. It's safe to assume, given Howell's brutal 8.31 ERA and 2.19 WHIP, that the Blue Jays won't be rushing him back. That is, if he even has a job at all by the time he's healthy again.
