Phils Activate Reliever Eyre Off DL

Posted: 11:18 am PDT July 5, 2009

(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies activated lefty reliever Scott Eyre from the 15-day disabled list on Sunday.

Eyre hit the DL June 12 with a strained left calf. He is 1-1 with a 2.57 earned run average in 25 games this season. Opposing batters are hitting .196 against him.

To accommodate the move, Philadelphia optioned fellow southpaw Sergio Escalona to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. In six appearances this season, Escalona is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA.
