Phillies placed LHP Cliff Lee on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19, with a Grade 1/2 flexor strain of his left elbow. The diagnosis certainly could have been worse, and the Phillies are hopeful that Lee will be ready to go when his 15 days are up (though it's hardly a given). The veteran left-hander will be shut down for the next week before attempting to resume a throwing program. The Phillies haven't announced who will take Lee's rotation spot on Saturday.
