Phillies starting pitcher Jon Lieber was placed on the 15-day disabled list after injuring his left groin on Monday night in a 11-2 win over the Nationals.
Lieber suffered the injury while fielding a ground ball in the second inning. He left the game for a pinch-hitter in the bottom half of the inning.
"It's sore," Lieber said. "I've never had any problems with my legs."
The Phillies placed the right-hander on the DL after the game. The club filled his spot with reliever Brian Sanches, who was 2-2 with a 2.49 ERA and seven saves for Triple-A Scranton.
