BY SCOTT LAUBERDENVER -- As we suspected yesterday, the Phillies have placed catcher Carlos Ruiz on the disabled list with a strained right oblique (rib cage) muscle and officially recalled Lou Marson from triple-A Lehigh Valley. Ruiz was injured in the third inning yesterday when he was drifting back behind the plate to catch a pop up.
Marson, the Phillies' top catching prospect, arrived here last night after being scratched from the lineup shortly before Lehigh Valley's game against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It's expected that Marson will play quite a bit until Ruiz returns. I would imagine he'll at least split starts with backup catcher Chris Coste. Marson went 1-for-20 in spring training.
More later.
