Phillies Place All-Star Left-Hander Jesús Luzardo On IL With Shoulder Inflammation

Phillies put All-Star lefty Jesus Luzardo on the 15-day IL (retro to Saturday) for left shoulder inflammation; MRI showed no serious damage and he's eligible to return Sept. 27.
Big blow for Philadelphia’s playoff push — Luzardo is 14-5 with a 2.87 ERA and a career-high 221 strikeouts (second in the NL) this season.
Phillies recalled RHP Grant Holman from Triple-A to take Luzardo’s roster spot; manager Don Mattingly says they expect Luzardo to be ready by season’s end.
