Injuries lead to auditions for Phillies | Extra Innings

Suddenly, the Phillies are enduring their share of injuries, which also means some guys are getting to audition. Monday, reliever Victor Arano, who had allowed just one run on five hits in 10 relief appearances, became the third Phillies player in four days to land on the disabled list. Arano has a strained rotator cuff. His trip to the DL opened a roster spot for Zach Eflin to make his first start of the season tonight against the Marlins in Miami. Eflin is replacing Ben Lively in the rotation. The Phillies also called up lefthander Zac Curtis to replace Jake Thompson in the bullpen.
