Zach Eflin Placed on the DL

Hi everybody,

Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin was placed on the 15-day DL (Disabled List) with patellar tendinopathy in both of his knees.  It is unknown if Eflin will pitch again this season.

Eflin's spot in the rotation is expected to be filled by either Triple A pitchers Adam Morgan or David Buchanan.  That decision does not have to be made until this weekend.  In the meantime....relief pitcher Elvis Araujo has been called up to pitch in the bullpen.

Vincent Velasquez Returns from DL

Hi everybody,

Phillies starting pitcher Vincent Velasquez returned from the DL (Disabled List) in last night's (June 28th) game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.  Velasquez has been on the DL for the last three weeks with a strained right bicep...which he injured on June 8th in the 1st inning against the Chicago Cubs.  To make room on the roster for Velasquez, the Phils sent relief pitcher Elvis Araujo down to Triple A and moved former starting pitcher Adam Morgan to the bullpen.
