Manager Pete Mackanin said he didn't use Neris on Friday because he wanted to give him some additional rest, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
Neris pitched three days in a row during the Phillies' recent series in Arizona and leads the majors with 42 appearances. He has been seen wearing a compression sleeve on his right arm while sitting in the bullpen. He said that is to help keep his arm warm now that a jacket is not needed and not because of any injury.
