Philadelphia Phillies reliever Pat Neshek has had a pretty brutal week. That week is going to end with him being placed on the injured list.
After the Phillies Friday evening win over the Milwaukee Brewers – a game that Neshek didn’t pitch in – Phillies manager Gabe Kapler told the collective media, including Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia, that Neshek will be placed on the injured list with a sore shoulder. Salisbury also noted that Neshek will head back to Philadelphia, which would suggest an MRI could be coming.
Neshek, 38, wasn’t ready to come into Monday’s game against the Chicago Cubs when Seranthony Dominguez got into a jam in the eighth inning, his second inning of work.
