The Phillies are in line for a wild-card spot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we worked through it the last couple of days, we thought he&#8217;s gonna be able to make the start,&#8221; Mattingly said. &#8220;He&#8217;s still not quite there. We feel like it&#8217;s safer to be careful with him. We don&#8217;t want this to linger, so it&#8217;s one of those things, we want to try to take care of it and just go from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old Luzardo is having a huge season, posting a record of 14-5 with a 2.87 ERA. In his most recent outing against the Braves, he struck out 12 in the first shutout of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Mayza got the start in place of Luzardo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Philadelphia Phillies star pitcher Jes\u00fas Luzardo underwent an MRI that showed no serious issues, though he won&#8217;t throw&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1422,11199,69,71,70,1425,726],"class_list":["post-284830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
