Felix Hernandez heads to the disabled list after straining his baby cow due to a teammate home run:

Mariners ace Felix Hernandez is heading to the 15-day disabled list after suffering a strained right calf Tuesday as he leapt from the bench to celebrate one of the club’s five home runs in a 16-4 victory over San Diego at Safeco Field.

The club responded by recalling lefty James Paxton from Triple-A Tacoma, after scratching him from a scheduled Tuesday start, in order to replace Hernandez in the rotation for Wednesday’s game against the Padres at Petco Park.

Hernandez’s injury is not believed to be serious, but he remained Tuesday night in Seattle — while the rest of the club flew to San Diego — in order to undergo an examination Wednesday by Dr. Edward Khalfayan, the club’s medical director.

It doesn’t sound as bad as Kendrys Morales walk-off home run injury, but maybe players should show a little bit of control in these celebrations.
