37 Mike Adams, RP

Phillies reliever Mike Adams has been placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Adams had been day-to-day with a back strain, but it was unclear whether he would be placed on the disabled list. He has not appeared in a game since May 10. Adams has a 3.00 ERA through 15 innings this season. 

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Sunday reliever Mike Adams remains day-to-day with a mild back strain, according to MLB.com. But it is a "likelihood" Adams will be placed on the disabled list, Amaro added.

The Phillies will need to make a roster move when starting pitcher Tyler Cloyd is recalled from Triple-A to start Tuesday.

Phillies reliever Mike Adams had an MRI taken on his back Friday morning, as his injury has not improved. Adams told the News Journal Friday that his back feels the same, and a trip to the disabled list will not be considered until the results of the MRI come back. 

Adams has not pitched in over a week due to his lingering back injury.

Phillies reliever Mike Adams may have an MRI on his back Thursday or Friday after taking Wednesday off from baseball-related activites, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

"[Thursday] if I come in and don’t feel like I’m progressing or so, I may ask to go to an MRI on Friday or [Thursday], just so I have a better idea on what’s going on and what the timetable may be about the severity of what’s going on," Adams told the Inquirer Wednesday.

"I don’t know the true timetable on what’s going on right now," Adams added.

Phillies reliever Mike Adams said Wednesday his back injury hasn't improved much, per MLB.com. However, he's hopeful with Thursday's off-day he will be able to return this weekend against the Reds.
