LOS ANGELES – The announcement by the Phillies Tuesday before their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that infielder Edmundo Sosa was being placed on the 10-day Injured List may have caused concern for some. But in reality, as far as Sosa goes, and the other injuries the team is dealing with, all seem pretty good.

“It’s a right groin,” said Thomson. “Just a mild, mild strain. We worked him out yesterday and he still felt it so as a precaution we’re going to IL him, back date him, so he’ll be ready in seven days. He was still getting better but we didn’t want to risk it, especially going to the turf (in Arizona for next series). We decided it best to shut this thing down, get him right and get him back for the last couple of days of the regular season.”
