LHP Elvis Araujo was demoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Sunday's loss at San Francisco to create a roster spot for the expected reinstatement of RHP Vincent Velasquez from the 15-day disabled list Monday. Araujo had been in a bit of a slump. After allowing three home runs in one game against Arizona on June 17, he was torched for three hits and three runs in just two-thirds of an inning in the Giants' 5-4 win on Friday night.

RHP Elvis Araujo allowed a run in the seventh inning Thursday, snapping a streak of six consecutive relief appearances in which he did not allow a run.

LHP Elvis Araujo came on in the eighth and walked Anthony Rendon but then struck out Bryce Harper to end the frame. The Phillies then scored three in the ninth for the 3-0 win. "I didn't want to give him anything to hit," Araujo said.

RP Elvis Araujo, who was a big part of the Phillies bullpen in 2015, made his 2016 debut Friday night after being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley when Phillies reliever Daniel Stumpf was sentenced to an 80-game suspension for PEDs. Araujo allowed a leadoff single in the ninth inning before striking out the side.

Araujo (groin) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Araujo won't return to the Phillies this season, but the team intends to have him pitch in winter ball. He will continue his rehab in the Phillies' spring training facility in Florida.

Araujo (groin) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Friday.

This will officially end Araujo's season, as the Phillies would rather use his roster spot on depth outfielder Brian Bogusevic. The 24-year-old had a solid debut season out of the bullpen, throwing a 3.38 ERA and holding lefties to a .243/.309/.338 line.

Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said it is unlikely that Araujo (groin) will return to action this season, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Araujo left last Thursday's game with a groin strain. The Phillies do not want to rush him back with the regular season nearly over. He was 2-1 with a 3.38 ERA and a 34:19 K:BB ratio in 34.2 innings this season.

Araujo (groin) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday.

Araujo didn't record an out in either of his last two appearances, but for different reasons. While he left Wednesday due to poor performance, the 23-year-old exited Thursday's game with a groin strain. That is now the reasoning behind his placement on the disabled list, but he should retake a spot in the bullpen when healthy with the rosters expanded in September.

Araujo left Thursday's game with a left groin strain, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Araujo was clearly in discomfort during his outing Thursday and failed to throw a strike before leaving the game with what has been diagnosed as a groin strain. There has been no word on how long the injury could sideline Araujo.

Araujo left Thursday's game with an undisclosed injury, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Araujo walked the first batter he faced on four pitches before throwing a first-pitch ball to the next batter, at which point he was replaced by Luis Garcia. The nature of Araujo's injury is unclear at this point, but the Phillies will likely issue a statement on his status following Thursday's game.

Araujo tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts in the Phillies' loss to the Brewers on Friday.

Araujo has now strung together eight straight hitless appearances for the Phillies. He is 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA and a 31:16 K:BB ratio in 32.1 innings this season.

Araujo is now the lone lefty in the Phillies' bullpen, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Jake Diekman was demoted to Triple-A on Thursday, and righty Dustin McGowan was recalled to take his spot. Araujo has retired 11 of the 19 lefthanded batters he has faced this season. He has a 2.57 ERA and a 5:5 K:BB ratio in seven innings of work.
