Reliever Pat Neshek is heading to the 10-day disabled list with, one would assume, is the lat strain Gabe Kapler spoke about Thursday.
Yacksel Rios is coming up to the big leagues in his place.
And allow me to roll my eyes heavily, because maybe Neshek should’ve been on the DL before today, since Kapler knew he was hurt enough not to pitch yesterday.
Anyway, this is a big blow, especially since the bullpen didn’t look like a strength yesterday.
Tim MalcolmTim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
