The Philadelphia Phillies place Rudy Seanez on the D.L.
The Phillies have placed righty reliever Rudy Seanez on the 15-day disabled list with a case of right shoulder inflammation. Seanez has pitched in 31 games (0 starts) for the Phillies this season and he is 4-3 with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. Seanez has been a tad wild this season for the Phillies as he has walked 22 batters in only 32.2 innings. The Phillies have recalled lefty Les Walrond to pitch out of the bullpen. Walrond has pitched in 24 games (17 starts) in AAA ball this season and he is 6-8 with a 2.99 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. Walrond has whiffed 109 batters in 114.1 innings in the minors this season so he appears to be improving. Walrond has pitched in 17 games (2 starts) in his major league career and he is 0-3 with a 7.46 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP.
