Brian Schneider - C - Phillies

Phillies transferred C Brian Schneider to the 60-day disabled list.

This is strictly a procedural move. Schneider (hamstring) is out for the year, and could struggle to attract anything more than a minor league contract this offseason.

Brian Schneider - C - Phillies

Brian Schneider (hamstring, ankle) is not expected to return this season.

Schneider was cleared for a rehab assignment at High-A Clearwater, but remains doubtful to be added to the Phillies' roster. Erik Kratz will continue to get an extended look down the stretch.

Brian Schneider - C - Phillies

Phillies placed C Brian Schneider on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

Schneider just returned from an ankle injury on July 31. Splitting time with Erik Kratz in the absence of Carlos Ruiz, Schneider was hitting .200/.273/.300 in August. The 35-year-old backstop will be a free agent in the offseason.

Brian Schneider - C - Phillies

Brian Schneider went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets.

Brian Schneider - C - Phillies

Phillies re-signed C Brian Schneider to a one-year, $800,000 contract.

Schneider, who turns 35 later this month, batted just .176/.246/.256 with two homers and a .502 OPS over 139 plate appearances this season. They could have found an upgrade elsewhere, but the Phillies are apparently comfortable with him as Carlos Ruiz's primary backup catcher.

C	1	Carlos Ruiz Sidelined Carlos Ruiz left Sunday's game against the Reds with a right hamstring strain. Ruiz hurt himself while running the bases. There's no word yet on the severity of the injury, but a trip to the disabled list would seem to be a distinct possibility. Humberto Quintero would take Ruiz's spot on the roster if a move needs to be made. May 19

	2	Roy Halladay D.L. Roy Halladay had surgery on Wednesday to remove a bone spur in his shoulder and repair his torn rotator cuff. Halladay is hoping to resume throwing in 6-8 weeks and will try to make it back before the end of the 2013 season. The veteran righty had an 8.65 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 35/17 K/BB ratio over his first 34 1/3 innings this season. He can be dropped in all non-keeper leagues. May 16
	3	Cliff Lee
	4	Kyle Kendrick
	5	John Lannan D.L. John Lannan (quad) threw a bullpen session on Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida. Lannan will throw off a mound again on Monday and should then progress to simulated games. If all goes well, he will join the Phillies at some point in early June. He's been on the disabled list since April 18 with a quad strain. May 18
	6	Jonathan Pettibone
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jonathan Papelbon
	2	Mike Adams Sidelined Mike Adams could be placed on the disabled list if he doesn't feel significant improvement with his back by Tuesday. The Phillies will need to make a roster move that day for fifth starter Tyler Cloyd. Adams hasn't pitched since May 10, so the Phils could backdate a DL move and possibly get him back on May 26.
