Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) – The Philadelphia Phillies officially placed pitcher Jonathan Pettibone on the 15-day disabled list Friday due to a strained right shoulder.<\/p>\n
The team had previously announced that Pettibone would be scratched from Saturday’s scheduled start against Atlanta because of shoulder tightness. A replacement has yet to be named.<\/p>\n
Pettibone has started 18 games for the Phillies since being promoted from the minors in April, going 5-4 with a 4.04 earned run average.<\/p>\n
Fellow rookie Ethan Martin was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill the roster spot, with the rookie slated to make his major league debut in Friday’s matchup with the Braves.<\/p>\n
Martin, acquired by Philadelphia from the Dodgers in last July’s trade that sent outfielder Shane Victorino to Los Angeles, is filling in for Cliff Lee. The All-Star lefty is currently dealing with a stiff neck and has not pitched since July 21.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Martin started 21 games for the Iron Pigs and put together an 11-5 record to go along with a 4.12 ERA and 107 strikeouts over 115 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia made an additional move prior to Friday’s contest, designating reliever J.C. Ramirez for assignment and selecting the contract of right- hander Zach Miner from Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n
Ramirez allowed 13 runs (11 earned) in 13 1\/3 innings over 11 appearances for the Phillies.<\/p>\n
Miner, 31, owns a 25-20 record with a 4.24 ERA over 157 MLB games, but hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2009 while with Detroit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
