The Chicago White Sox placed catcher A.J. Pierzynski on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday with a fractured right wrist.
Initial X-rays returned negative, but additional tests revealed concerning signs for the White Sox, who elected to put Pierzynski on the shelf.
Pierzynski left Friday's loss to the Kansas City Royals after being hit by a pitch. The 34-year-old sat out both Saturday and Sunday's contests.
Tyler Flowers is expected to start in place of Pierzynski, who is hitting .297 with six homers and 39 RBIs in 371 at-bats this season.
In a corresponding move, Chicago purchased the contract of catcher Donny Lucy from Triple-A Charlotte.
