Philadelphia Phillies’ Jose Contreras continues elbow rehab with Lehigh Valley IronPigs

Philadelphia Phillies’ right-handed reliever Jose Contreras, who is rehabbing an elbow injury, will be available tonight as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs host the Gwinnett Braves at 7:05 at Coca-Cola Park, the Pigs announced today in a news release.

Contreras, 39, gave up three runs in a third of an inning Wednesday at Single-A Clearwater. On Saturday, at Class AA Reading, he worked out of a bases-loaded jam in a scoreless inning.

He was a perfect five-for-five in save opportunities as the Phillies’ closer, going eight innings without giving up a run. His 15-day stint on the disabled list is retroactive to April 22.

That’s all for today guys, i’ll be back to blog you tomorrow.
