Just when you thought the Phillies had enough pitching depth for the starting rotation, the injury bug bites yet again.
The Phillies have placed RHP Spencer Turnbull on the 15-day IL with a right lat strain. To fill his spot on the 26-man roster, RHP Yunior Marte was recalled from Lehigh Valley (AAA).

We all watched Turnbull exit the game Wednesday with what he called a “grab” in his right shoulder. Turns out, that “grab” was his lat muscle straining.
Cool.
The team had six starters heading into this season, which is great, but teams usually need seven or eight to make it through an entire season.
