Phillies reliever Ken Giles met with the doctor after leaving Tuesday's spring game with a back injury, per MLB.com. While Giles said the injury isn't serious, he doesn't know if he will be back pitching immediately.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Giles has been diagnosed with a mild mid-back strain. Amaro added a stint on the disabled list probably isn't necessary since the injury is being described as "milder" than third baseman Cody Asche's back injury. Asche missed only four spring training games due to back tightness.
