One day after complaining of being unable to get loose — and putting up results that were as lousy as he felt — Phillies righthander Ben Lively has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a low back strain, the team announced Friday.
Righthander Jake Thompson was called up from triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Lively’s spot on the roster, though not in the starting rotation. Manager Gabe Kapler said the Phillies are sorting through other internal and triple-A options to start Tuesday night at the Miami Marlins.
“Everything’s still on the table,” Kapler said.
