Victorino on DL with right calf strain
PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday night with a strained right calf, the same injury that curtailed his 2007 production.
Outfielder Chris Snelling's contract was purchased from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Victorino's roster spot.
The switch-hitting Victorino grounded to first base to end the sixth inning and ran gingerly to first. He was replaced in the batting order by Geoff Jenkins and in center field by Jayson Werth, who moved over from right field.
Victorino didn't speak to reporters after the game, but conveyed through a team official that he injured himself scoring on a wild pitch in the fifth inning.

Full story.
It doesn't sound as if it's terribly serious, but the struggling Phillies need to stay healthy.
