Phillies place Jesús Luzardo on IL amid tight NL East race, but not ruling him out for playoff roster
The Philadelphia Phillies have suffered a major blow ahead of the postseason.
AI Summary
The Philadelphia Phillies placed left‑hander Jesús Luzardo on the injured list on Tuesday after he was scratched from a start due to shoulder stiffness. An MRI performed three days earlier showed no structural damage, only inflammation causing the stiffness. Interim manager Don Mattingly said the team decided to remove Luzardo to avoid risking further injury and to allow him to recover fully for the rest of the season. The move keeps Luzardo off the roster but does not rule him out of a playoff spot.
