Phillies left-hander Antonio Bastardo was placed on the 15-day disabled list tonight with a left posterior shoulder strain.

Bastardo, as you may recall, was lifted in the fourth inning of his most recent start, Thursday, with shoulder tightness. He met with team physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti today.

The Phils recalled left-handed reliever Sergio Escalona to take Bastardo's place on the roster. The team will likely make another roster move later this week (Carlos Carrasco or Andrew Carpenter are good bets) to start in Bastardo's place.
