EDGE Analysis

Neshek will miss three games at the most, putting him on line to return for this weekend's series against the Braves. The veteran right-hander has been terrific for the Phillies out of the bullpen this season, throwing 5.2 innings of shutout baseball over six games. Ben Lively will take his spot in the bullpen for a couple of days.
