CLEVELAND — The Yankees today placed starting pitcher Ivan Nova on the disabled list with an inflamed rotator cuff.

The injury is not expected to end Nova’s season.

The team announced Wednesday that Nova would miss his next start and that a DL stint was possible. The right-hander was examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad on Thursday in New York.

Nova is 11-7 with a 4.92 ERA this season, but has been bad of late going 1-3 with a 8.59 ERA over his past five starts after getting shelled by the White Sox on Tuesday night.
