romero and durbin to dl

J.C. Romero (strained forearm) and Chad Durbin (back) were both put on the DL today. Tyler Walker and Andrew Carpenter have been recalled from Lehigh Valley. It seems that the Phillies were monitoring Romero's injury but had no idea that Durbin had a problem. Pitching coach Rich Dubee was reportedly not happy to hear that Durbin, who has been pretty inconsistent this year, had concealed the injury for the past month. Scott Eyre will be the only lefty in the 'pen till Romero returns. Uh-oh. I do hope that Carpenter, a starter in the minors, makes the most of this chance.
