The Philadelphia Phillies lose Brad Lidge for a while
The Phillies have placed closer Brad Lidge on the 15-day disabled list with a knee problem. Lidge has pitched in 28 games (0 starts) this season for the Phillies and he is 0-3 with 13 saves, a 7.27 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP. Ryan Madson will get the chance to replace Lidge as the closer and he will likely do a really good job. Madson has pitched in 30 games (0 starts) for the Phillies so far this season and he is 2-1 with 3 saves, a 2.15 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP.
