A stint on the disabled list looks likely for Peter Bourjos, who injured his right shoulder running into the outfield wall while making a catch Tuesday night.

“It’s not any worse, but it’s still sore,” Bourjos reported Wednesday morning.

Bourjos sounded pessimistic when asked if he thought he could avoid a trip to the disabled list.



“I don’t know,” he said.



Bourjos indicated that he has some range of motion issues.



Assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said the team would continue to evaluate Bourjos and provide further word Thursday.

Bourjos’ injury comes with outfielder Aaron Altherr’s minor-league rehab stint expiring on Wednesday. Altherr is expected to be activated Thursday. Bourjos could end up going on the DL to make room for Altherr.

Phillies officials had been considering a number of ways to make room for Altherr. One of them was trading Bourjos. That option is now on hold though Bourjos could still be moved in a waiver deal in August if he's healthy.
