Shoulder strain sends Halladay to disabled list
Just when it finally seemed like the Phillies were turning the corner after
some early-season struggles, they were dealt a tough blow on Tuesday afternoon.
Co-ace Roy Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star,
was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder and
said he hopes to return in six to eight weeks. The move is retroactive to
Monday.
The 35-year-old Halladay is 4-5 with a 3.98 ERA this season. In his last
outing, at St. Louis on Sunday, the right-hander threw two innings before
being removed due to right shoulder soreness.
Halladay had his shoulder examined on Tuesday, and when it was determined he
needed to be placed on the DL, the club recalled catcher Eric Kratz from
Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Because of an off-day, the Phillies will not need a No. 5 starter until June
6, though it's unclear who will assume that role. Dave Bush, Tyler Cloyd and
Scott Elarton are all options from Triple-A.
A potential option to replace Halladay in the long run could be free-agent
righty Roy Oswalt, but assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said it
wasn't worth speculating yet. Industry sources told MLB.com on Tuesday that
the Texas Rangers are the front-runners to sign Oswalt.
The Phillies will resume their three-game series with the Mets in New York
at 7:10 ET on Tuesday night.
Doc進DL,說希望大概6-8周後可以復原。祝福Doc.
