Hamels placed on D.L.

more to come later, but here is the press release from the Phillies:

Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels has a strained left shoulder and has been placed on the 15-day disabled listed, retroactive to May 19, when he last pitched. He is eligible for reinstatement on June 3.

The diagnosis came following an examination by Phillies team physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti and an MRI at the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

According to Dr. Ciccotti, the MRI revealed no structural damage to his shoulder. Hamels will be treated medically and through an exercise program.

Hamels was scratched from tonight’s start in New York after experiencing “a couple of pops” in his left shoulder while playing long toss in the outfield at Shea Stadium before Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

Condrey purchased

To fill Hamels’ spot on the 25-man roster, the Phillies have recalled right-hander Clay Condrey from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (AAA). Condrey, 30, appeared in 3 games for the Phillies earlier this season. He allowed one earned run in 2.0 innings.

With Scranton, Condrey was 2-0 with one save a 1.09 ERA in 15 relief appearances. He leaves Scranton in the midst of a 20.0-inning scoreless streak (12 games).
