Blanton to the DL, Vance Worley Called Up

The parade to the disabled list continues in Philadelphia, with Joe Blanton being placed on the 15 day disabled list with a “right elbow impingement”. On the bright side, tomorrow which was Blanton’s day to pitch, is also Vance Worley’s day in Lehigh Valley.  Worley has been called up to make the start against the Mets tomorrow.  Worley,23,  has been impressive for the ‘Pigs in his four starts this year, going 2-2 with a 2.78 ERA.  In 22.2 innings, Worley has allowed 19 hits, walked 6 and struck out 25, and holds a WHIP of 1.10.  The Phils are not losing a whole heck of a lot with Worley in the rotation rather than Blanton, however the myriad of injuries and resulting lack of depth now becomes quite a concern.
