Vince Velasquez’s season ended Tuesday when the Phillies moved him to the 60-day disabled list. Matt Gelb of Philly.com reported that Velasquez will undergo surgery to fix the issue in his right armpit that is restricting blood flow to his finger. The surgery recovery time is about six to eight weeks, so while Velasquez will miss the rest of the season, his offseason should still go fairly normally.
Velasquez’s season has been filled with struggles. In 15 starts spanning 72 innings, Velasquez had a 5.13 ERA, 5.50 fielding-independent pitching, 10.
