Default Lieber could miss rest of season

Quote:
Phillies placed RHP Jon Lieber on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 21, with a ruptured tendon in his right foot.

Lieber won't be back before September if he returns at all. The Phillies could call up J.A. Happ or even Carlos Carrasco to start in his place next week. They still have no plans to put Brett Myers back into the rotation, so they need to trade for a starting pitcher.

Bad situation for the Phils, I imagine now they sort of regret sending Myers to the bullpen. You can usually find a solid reliever, but a good starting pitcher is another case
