EDGE Analysis

Billingsley will not pitch again this season as he continues to nurse a flexor strain, which first arose in mid-July. The move to the 60-day DL simply opens up a spot on the 40-man roster, which will be filled by one of the Phillies' three September call-ups.

EDGE Analysis

Billingsley has been sidelined with a flexor strain since mid-July. He made just seven starts for the Phillies this season due to injuries. He will become a free agent at the end of the season.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed pitcher Chad Billingsley on the disabled list Monday because of an elbow injury, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Billingsley left his start Saturday due to tightness in his elbow, and interim manager Pete Mackanin said that the team would be cautious with Billingsley, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2013 and went back on the disabled list earlier this year with a shoulder strain. "Just something didn't look right," Mackanin told ESPN. "In his face you could see in his face that something was bugging him, so we wanted to make sure and take care of it. ... Stiffness, soreness ... he complained about it. We felt it was in the best interest of him, especially after what he's gone through, to take it easy." Jerome Williams, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury, could join the rotation in Billingsley's absence.

Billingsley allowed four runs on 10 hits over five innings in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. He struck out two and did not walk a batter. Billingsley made it through the first two innings before giving up a three run home run in the third. He is now 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA and a 13:7 K:BB ratio in 32 innings. He will make his next start Saturday against the Marlins.

Billingsley allowed two runs on six hits over six innings Tuesday to pick up his first win of the season. He struck out three and walked one. The win was Billingsley's first since April 10, 2013. Tuesday's outing was encouraging after he was hit hard last week in his first start back from a rehab assignment. He'll need to string together a few more solid starts before he can be trusted in deeper leagues. His next start will come Sunday against the Giants.

Billingsley was hit hard in his return from the disabled list Thursday. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits over five innings. Billingsley has a 7.71 ERA in four starts for the Phillies this season. He has struck out only eight in his 21 innings of work and has given up 33 hits. He has some work to do before he can be trusted as a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Billingsley was officially activated from the DL on Thursday. Billingsley will get the start Thursday against Milwaukee, so his activation has been expected. The Phillies placed Aaron Harang on the DL with plantar fasciitis, which frees up a spot on the 25-man roster for Billingsley.

Billingsley (shoulder) will start Thursday's game against the Brewers. Billingsley pitched just three games after returning from an elbow issue before suffering a shoulder strain that sent him to the disabled list for another month and a half. He will finally rejoin the Phillies' rotation Thursday, and the club indicated that a corresponding move will come that day to make room on the 25-man roster.
