Pair of pitching injuries to bring shake up

Injuries to a pair of starting pitchers could shake things up for the Phillies this week.

On Sunday, it was announced that Phillies starter Chad Billingsley was placed on the disabled list with a shoulder strain, while righty pitcher David Buchanan exited Sunday’s game for Triple-A Lehigh Valley with an apparent leg injury.

It is unclear how Billingsley’s void in the starting rotation will be filled when his turn comes up on Wednesday. Likely candidates include Severino Gonzalez, who is slated to pitch Wednesday for Lehigh Valley, or lefty Adam Morgan, who is on schedule to pitch for the IronPigs on Tuesday.
