NEW YORK (AP) - Jim Thome was diagnosed with a strained lower back, and the Philadelphia Phillies hope their first baseman will be able to play again in about two weeks.
"That's good news," manager Charlie Manuel said after Thursday's 7-5 loss to the New York Mets.
Thome, hitting .203 with one homer and 12 RBIs, was put on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, a move retroactive to Sunday, and can be activated May 16. He had an MRI exam Tuesday, and more tests Wednesday.
