The Philadelphia Phillies place All-Star left-hander Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Multiple outlets report the move comes after Luzardo is scratched from a scheduled start at Atlanta because of left shoulder inflammation.
The reports agree Luzardo is not expected to be immediately available and that his return timing depends on recovery. One outlet notes he is not eligible to return until the last day of the regular season, which would potentially limit his availability to the postseason if he is healthy enough and the team chooses to use him.
Some coverage focuses on the uncertainty around whether Luzardo pitches again before the playoffs, while other outlets emphasize the team’s willingness to consider a postseason start if his shoulder improves. None of the reports provide a specific timetable beyond the IL designation and the requirement that he reach eligibility for a potential return.
