The Philadelphia Phillies announced after Saturday's 10-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park that they had placed pitcher Brad Lidge on the 15-day disabled list. They recalled left-hander Antonio Bastardo from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his place.
"This isn't something we didn't anticipate," Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said. "Based on the way he threw today we decided this is the action to take."
Lidge, who still felt stiffness in his arm playing catch before the game, can be activated as early as May 25.
Phillies right-hander Jose Contreras will be the team's closer in the meantime.
With Bastardo being brought up from the IronPigs, pitcher Alex Concepcion (turf toe) was activated off of the minor league disabled list to take the roster spot.
