Halladay out for six to eight weeks

NEW YORK — Philadelphia Phillies ace pitcher Roy Halladay is expected to miss six to eight weeks because of a strained right shoulder.

Halladay was put on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, two days after he was hit hard and pulled from a start in St. Louis after just two innings because of shoulder soreness.

The two-time Cy Young winner will not pitch for a minimum of three weeks, then work toward rejoining the rotation, Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said.

Halladay is 4-5 with a 3.98 ERA in 11 starts. The eight-time All-Star came to the Phillies in a trade with Toronto before the 2010 season and got a $60 million, three-year contract.
