The Phillies placed outfielder Shane Victorino (strained right calf) and outfielder Michael Bourn (sprained left ankle) on the 15-day disabled list. The Phillies said a MRI showed a tear in Victorino's calf, but said his injury is less severe than Bourn's. The Phillies think Victorino could return to the lineup in 15 days. Bourn could take longer to recover.
The Phillies recalled outfielder Chris Roberson from triple-A Ottawa and will activate outfielder Jayson Werth from the disabled list in time for tomorrow night's game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
No way about it, this is a blow the lineup. They not only lose most of their speeds on the bases, but they lose tremendous defense in the outfield.

The Phillies also placed righthander Clay Condrey on outright waivers to make room for righthander Kyle Lohse on the 25-man roster.

Where'd all the doubters of Roberson go?
