The Phillies placed Neris on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified issue, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Neris was one of four Phillies placed on the IL on Wednesday, with no reason provided behind any of the transactions. More clarity on Neris' situation could be provided the next time manager Joe Girardi meets with the media, but for now, the 31-year-old's status for Opening Day in late July is muddled. Neris had been projected to serve as the Phillies' closer in 2020 after converting 28 of 34 save chances and posting a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP last season, but if he's forced to miss any time, Girardi could opt to take a committee approach to the ninth inning.
