The Phillies put Brad Lidge on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with what the team said was a sprained right knee. "His leg was bothering him some in spring training," the Phillies manager said before Tuesday's series opener at the New York Mets. "He always said, 'I can go. Really, I think I can live through it. It will get all right.' We were inclined, well, as long as he thinks he can pitch. We thought it would get better."
