Cliff Lee to the 15-Day DL

The Phillies have announced that starter Cliff Lee has been placed on the 15-day DL with a mild strain in the flexor tendon in his left elbow.

Lee had an MRI on Tuesday and the news of the pitcher being placed on the DL was revealed following the Phillies' win over the Marlins.

The problems began during a complete game against Atlanta on April 16, according to Lee, who said that was when he began to experience the discomfort.

Needless to say, this sucks.

Lee is 4-4 with a 3.18 ERA in 10 starts so far this season.
