Velasquez put on DL with bruised right forearm

Must C: Velasquez goes lefty Among a flurry of moves on Sunday morning, right-hander Vince Velasquez was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right forearm contusion suffered in Saturday's 3-2 Phillies victory over the Nationals.

The Phillies also reinstated right-hander Pat Neshek from the 10-day DL, recalled righty Jake Thompson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and optioned left-hander Zac Curtis to Lehigh Valley.

Velasquez was hit on his pitching arm by a liner off the bat of Washington's Adam Eaton in the second inning. In a highlight-reel play, he used his left hand to throw Eaton out at first. Velasquez departed the game, but said later he felt "all right."
