Developments: 2. 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. The Phillies have now officially placed Luzardo on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 12, due to the shoulder inflammation. The move effectively ends his 2026 regular season, during which he posted a 14-5 record with a 2.87 ERA and 221 strikeouts. Despite the setback, Mattingly stated that the team has not ruled Luzardo out for a potential postseason return. He is expected to be eligible to return to the active roster on September 27, the final day of the regular season. To fill his roster spot, the Phillies have recalled right-hander Grant Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Jesus Luzardo placed on Phillies injured list with shoulder inflammation Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jesus Luzardo has been placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, potentially missing the rest of the regular season but remaining a candidate for a postseason.] 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jess-luzardo-clears-mri-with-no-structural-shoulder-damage ### 2026-09-12: Jesús Luzardo scratched from Phillies start due to shoulder stiffness Phillies star pitcher Jesús Luzardo will miss his start against the Atlanta Braves due to left shoulder stiffness.
