Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez (elbow) has said that his right flexor strain is only mild.
He will still be placed on the disabled list, and until he undergoes tests and an MRI on the elbow we won't have a good idea of how long he may end up sidelined.
Velasquez has had a bit of a dicey start to 2017, with a 5.58 ERA, 4.08 SIERA, 24.1 percent strikeout rate, 9.6 percent walk rate and 1.46 WHIP through 10 games (50 innings pitched).
