The Philadelphia Phillies place Francisco Rosario on the DL
The Phillies have placed relief pitcher Francisco Rosario on the 15-day disabled list with a case of right shoulder inflammation. Rosario has not pitched well so far this season for the Phillies. In 18 games, Rosario is 0-3 with a 6.64 ERA and a 1.97 WHIP. He has thrown 20.1 innings and he has allowed 29 hits, walked 11 batters and whiffed 17. The Phillies have recalled 28 year old righty Brian Sanches to replace Rosario in the bullpen. Sanches has pitched in 24 games in AAA ball this season and he’s 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP there. In 30 innings he has allowed 41 hits, walked 4 batters and whiffed 39. Sanches threw a shutout inning yesterday for the Phillies in his debut for the season. Don’t look for Sanches to be much better than Rosario has been this season for the Phillies.
