Phils exercising caution with Velasquez, Franco
6/8/16: Pete Mackanin discusses his team's lack of offense and Vince Velasquez's injury that took him out two pitches into the gameTORONTO -- Phillies manager Pete Mackanin updated the status of recently injured starter Vince Velasquez and third baseman Maikel Franco prior to Philadelphia's home-and-home series opener against the Blue Jays on Monday.
Velasquez left his Wednesday afternoon start against the Cubs after just two pitches, and was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a right biceps strain.
"He'll be re-evaluated tomorrow and then we'll determine when he'll start throwing," Mackanin said. "He's here [in Toronto]."
