Phillies reliever Luis Ortiz lands on IL with ankle sprain
He sustained the injury in the sixth inning of Saturday’s loss to the Atlanta Braves, in which he allowed two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.
In a related move, the Phillies recalled right-hander Nick Nelson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Ortiz, 28, has an 0-2 record with a 4.76 ERA in 24 career appearances with the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants and Phillies.
