Chad Qualls

Chad Qualls returned to action on Saturday May 12.

Updating an earlier item, Chad Qualls (knee) has not been placed on the disabled list.

Qualls is nursing a knee ailment that was expected to land him on the DL, but the Phillies evidently think he’ll be ready to pitch before long. The right-hander holds a 3.48 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 12 appearances this season.

Phillies placed RHP Chad Qualls on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 9, with a left knee injury.

It’s not clear at this point how he suffered the injury or what exactly he’s dealing with, but Qualls was seen wearing a brace on the knee, and this move was expected. He’s posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 12 appearances this season.

Chad Qualls is expected to be placed on the disabled list with a left knee injury.

It’s not clear when Qualls was injured, but Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said after Wednesday’s game that Qualls was unavailable even though he had only thrown three pitches in the previous five days, and then the righty was later seen wearing a brace on his knee. He’s expected to be one of three moves made by the Phils, as Laynce Nix (calf) is also likely headed to the DL, and Joe Savery has already been optioned.

Chad Qualls told reporters Monday that he feels like he can pitch through his heel injury.

Qualls said Sunday that if felt like a “knife was going at” the back of his foot. But that sensation eventually faded, and he should be able to avoid the disabled list.

Chad Qualls is currently sidelined by a right heel injury.

Qualls said it feels like a “knife was going at the back of my heel” when he was walking around. There is no swelling in his foot, but the bone is causing him pain. Consider him day-to-day by now.

Chad Qualls won’t arrive in Phillies’ spring training camp until Tuesday due to personal issues.

It’s no big deal that he’ll be a couple days behind. Qualls didn’t pitch well away from Petco Park last season, but he’s had a good amount of success in his career and has a shot to be a solid middle relief option in Philly. The 33-year-old inked a one-year, $1.15 million contract late last month.
