Phillies place Jesús Luzardo on injured list with shoulder issue

Summary

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed pitcher Jesús Luzardo on the injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. Luzardo, who was skipped in a recent start, expressed discomfort with throwing and opted for the injured list to avoid risking further injury. The Phillies are concerned about the timing as Luzardo is key to their postseason push. He is eligible to return on the final day of the regular season, though pitching then might impact his availability for the Wild Card round. Luzardo, an All-Star this season with a 2.87 ERA, remains hopeful about returning for the playoffs and aims to contribute in any potential series.
