Phillies to place Zach Eflin back on the injured list

Phillies starter Zach Eflin was supposed to make his return to the starting rotation on Thursday against Arizona, but was scratched hours before with more knee issues. He made a rehab start on Saturday in Reading and was deemed healthy enough to return, despite not being stretched out to take on a normal starter’s workload. He underwent an MRI and according to Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the team is still awaiting the results.

On Friday, the Phillies are set to place Eflin back on the 10-day injured list.
