The Philadelphia Phillies place Justin DeFratus on the D.L.
The Phillies have placed 24-year old righty reliever Justin DeFratus on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26th due to a right elbow sprain. DeFratus pitched in 5 games (0 starts) for the Phillies last year and he was 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. He also pitched in 51 games (0 starts) in AA+AAA-ball last year in which he was 6-3 with 15 saves, a 2.99 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. The Phillies have high hopes for DeFratus, so they hope he gets well soon.
