May 23 -- WERTH TO THE DL

HOUSTON -- One week after his three-homer, eight-RBI outburst at the Bank, Jayson Werth is headed to the disabled list.

The Phillies waited until after tonight's game to make that announcement, although there were indications earlier in the day that this would happen. Outfielder T.J. Bohn has been recalled from Class AAA Lehigh Valley, where he was batting .162 with two homers and four RBIs. Werth strained his right oblique muscle on a swing in the eighth inning of last night's game, and although he said it was feeling "better than expected" today, Manuel said Werth was unable to swing a bat or throw a ball.

Why not bring back Harman when Bohn is batting under .200 for a horrible Lehigh Valley team?
