Guthrie lands on DL after bike accident

The Colorado Rockies placed right-handed starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the 15-day disabled list on Friday after falling off his bicycle on his way to the ballpark and injuring his pitching shoulder.

An MRI showed no structure damage, according to USA Today.

The chain fell off the bicycle he was riding on his way to Coors Field. It caused him to fall from the bike, landing on his right shoulder. Manager Jim Tracy said Guthrie would miss a couple starts.

The Rockies are hosting the New York Mets this weekend. Guthrie was scheduled to pitch on Saturday. He is expected to be replaced by Guillermo Moscoso, a Class AAA Colorado Springs call-up.

In 2005, Rockies shortstop Clint Barmes fell and broke his collarbone while carrying deer meat upstairs to his apartment. He was out for three months.
