Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ryan Sherriff (biceps) is being shut down for a few days, according to Phillies manager Joe Girardi. The left-handed reliever, who was claimed off waivers by the Phillies this offseason, is dealing with biceps soreness. His availability for the start of the season is in question now. While prospective closer Corey Knebel and primary setup men Brad Hand and Jeurys Familia are all healthy and seemingly ready to go, the team's bullpen depth behind that trio is battered with injuries. In addition to Sherriff's injury, Jose Alvarado (neck) has yet to pitch this spring and Connor Brogdon (illness) is questionable for Opening Day.

Nick Anderson (elbow) and Pete Fairbanks (shoulder) are expected to handle ninth-inning duties for Tampa Bay once activated from the injured list. Fantasy managers desperate for saves can add Sherriff in the short term.

Tampa will go with 13 pitchers against the Dodgers, one fewer than they used during the American League Championship Series against the Astros. The World Series has days off after Games 2 and 5, so pitchers will have a bit more rest during the series. Phillips went 0-for-2 in the Division Series against the Yankees, while Sherriff hasn't pitched since the last day of the regular season on Sept. 27, but he could be used in high-leverage situations against the Dodgers left-handed hitters.
