Vince Velasquez is heading back to the disabled list.
The Phillies on Friday placed Velasquez on the 10-day DL with a right middle finger injury. In a corresponding move, the Phils recalled utilityman Ty Kelly from Triple A Lehigh Valley.
Velasquez exited his start against the Mets on Thursday after just one inning with numbness in his right middle finger. The right-hander threw 32 pitches and was tagged for three runs in his only inning of work.
This will be Velasquez's second stint on the DL this season. He suffered a right elbow flexor strain on May 30 and didn't return to the mound for the Phillies until July 18.
On the season, Velasquez is 2-7 with a 5.13 ERA across 15 starts.
Kelly, who was optioned to Triple A earlier this month, has appeared in 48 games for the Phillies this season. In 84 plate appearances, Kelly is slashing .186/.259/.314. with 10 RBIs.
