The Phillies just announced that they were placing Cliff Lee on the 60-Day Disable List with a left forearm strain. Lee suffered the injury in Spring Training and has stated several times that surgery could end his career.

The team acknowledged in a release that surgery has been recommended for Lee despite his efforts to pitch through the injury. If surgery is chosen, it would more than likely end his 2015 season.
Lee is being sent home to rest.
I assume this is the beginning of the end.
