Phillies Place Reliever Caleb Kilian on Injured List with Left Oblique Strain
The right-hander is set for imaging after pitching the 12th inning, and the Phillies said he could miss weeks.
- On Monday, the Philadelphia Phillies placed reliever Caleb Kilian on the 15-day injured list following a left oblique strain suffered during Sunday's victory against the Toronto Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park.
- Kilian had pitched four times in six days since arriving in Philadelphia on August 4, and interim manager Don Mattingly described the strain as moderate.
- Mattingly told reporters after Sunday's game that the injury "didn't look good" after Kilian felt a grab in his left side during his second-to-last pitch.
- To replace Kilian, the Phillies recalled right-hander Chase Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, adding depth to a bullpen taxed by three extra-inning games.
- While the Phillies hope for Kilian's return before season's end, the bridge to closer Jhoan Duran remains on "shaky ground" during the National League Wild Card race.
