Jesús Luzardo shoulder injury status

Overview

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jesús Luzardo was recently removed from his scheduled start against the Atlanta Braves due to left shoulder stiffness. Interim manager Don Mattingly opted to prioritize Luzardo’s long-term health as the team navigates the National League wild-card race.

An MRI confirmed that while there is inflammation in his throwing shoulder, there is “no structural damage.” Luzardo is currently managing the discomfort with anti-inflammatories. He is expected to undergo a re-evaluation in Washington to establish a definitive return date, though the team has not yet decided whether to place him on the 15-day injured list.
