Philadelphia Phillies news, rumors and injuriesFri, 24 May 2013 15:18:30 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies 2B Chase Utley (oblique) could return from a mild oblique strain when he's eligible to return from the disabled list in two weeks, but Utley is cautious in not rushing himself back. "We really won't know for another week or so, how it's recovering," Utley said. "Obviously I'd like to be back in 15 days. But I don't think it's smart to come back if it's not ready." Fantasy Tip: Utley is widely known as a slow healer, so don't expect him to return in two weeks. Even Utley himself seems resigned to the fact that he won't rush to be ready within that time frame. He knows his body. That means Freddy Galvis will retain two-plus week value in deep mixed leagues. Share: Phillies | Darin Ruf slumping Fri, 24 May 2013 14:49:35 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies OF Darin Ruf was in a 3-for-31 slump with 12 strikeouts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, which played a part in the team's decision to bring up INF Michael Martinez over him. The team is committed to their current outfield and Ruf is still trying to learn left field. Share: Phillies | Mike Adams ready to return Fri, 24 May 2013 14:22:20 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (back) threw to hitters in Florida Friday, May 24, and the team decided he'll be ready to return from the disabled list Sunday, May 26, without making a minor league rehab outing. Adams has not pitched since May 10. Share: Phillies | Hope Chase Utley will be able to return soon Thu, 23 May 2013 19:38:58 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team hopes 2B Chase Utley (oblique) will be able to come off the 15-day disabled list when he is eligible. "The recovery for this type of injury should take between two and four weeks," Amaro said. "We do believe and hope that Chase will be ready to play in Philadelphia within 15 days." Share: Phillies | Michael Martinez recalled Thu, 23 May 2013 19:34:54 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies have recalled 2B Michael Martinez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Share: Phillies | Chase Utley officially placed on DL Thu, 23 May 2013 19:29:34 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies have officially placed 2B Chase Utley (oblique) on the 15-day disabled list because of an oblique strain. Share:  Phillies | Chase Utley to go on DLThu, 23 May 2013 17:20:05 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies 2B Chase Utley (oblique) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain and will be placed on the 15-day disabled list. Fantasy Tip: Although they are terming it a mild oblique injury, we've seen mild injury concerns keep Utley out for much longer than the minimum timetable before. Treat this situation similarly and expect him to be out for longer than 15 days, especially since clubs tend to be extra cautious with oblique ailments. Freddy Galvis, who will likely start at the keystone, will have value in deep mixed leagues until Utley comes back. Cesar Hernandez or Darin Ruf could be recalled from the minors for depth. Share: Phillies | Michael Stutes recalled Thu, 23 May 2013 12:54:50 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies recalled RP Michael Stutes from the minors Thursday, May 23. Share: Phillies | Phillippe Aumont sent down Thu, 23 May 2013 10:59:49 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies optioned RP Phillippe Aumont to the minors Wednesday, May 22. Share: Phillies | Mike Adams not ready to return Wed, 22 May 2013 14:52:47 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (back) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, May 22, and is optimistic that he can return from the disabled list before the weekend ends. However, pitching coach Rich Dubee said Adams needs more time. Adams will throw a batting practice session Friday, May 24, and will appear in an extended spring game Monday, May 27. Adams could return next Wednesday if he doesn't have any setbacks. Share: Phillies | Chase Utley to have MRI Wed, 22 May 2013 09:57:54 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies 2B Chase Utley (rib cage) will have an MRI following his absence from the club's game on Tuesday, May 21. He was scratched after he felt pain and a burning sensation in the area following a swing during batting practice. Utley won't play on Wednesday, May 22. It sounds as if the test will take place on Thursday, May 23. If he lands on the disabled list, then Freddy Galvis would fill in at second base, and the club would probably recall INF Cesar Hernandez or 1B/OF Darin Ruf. Fantasy Tip: This doesn't sound like a major injury, but a DL stint, one that could require more than the minimum stay, seems more than likely. Generally, teams don't like to mess around with these kinds of upper-body injuries because of how easily they're aggravated. It's a temporary setback to what has been a nice rebound for Utley, but it's something folks can deal with. Galvis would have value in deep mixed leagues in the interim. Share: Phillies | Chase Utley scratched Tue, 21 May 2013 15:59:49 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies 2B Chase Utley (side) has been scratched Tuesday, May 21, because of right side discomfort. Fantasy Tip: Freddy Galvis will start in his place tonight and probably for however long Utley needs to sit. Galvis is primarily NL-only fodder but could serve as a desperation play in deep mixed games if this lingers. Share: Phillies | Ryan Howard back Tue, 21 May 2013 12:36:47 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies 1B Ryan Howard (knee) is back in the lineup Tuesday, May 21, after the team was unsure if he had a tear in his meniscus. Share: Phillies | Concerned about Ryan Howard Mon, 20 May 2013 16:41:21 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies are a little concerned that 1B Ryan Howard's (knee) meniscus issues may be related to his Achilles' injury that he suffered in the playoffs back in 2011. "When you look at the meniscus, there's a little piece of it that we're concerned about," trainer Scott Sheridan said. "There's certain tests that make it look like he has a meniscus tear, and that's not as clear cut. If you did an MRI on all of it and you find these changes in the meniscus, the question is – is that what's really causing the symptoms?" Howard is hitting .245 with six home runs and 22 RBIs in 41 games, and his .713 OPS is the lowest mark of his career. Fantasy Tip: Keep a close eye on how Howard progresses over the next several days. He's out tonight, and the team is listing him as day-to-day. These could very easily become a situation that lands the lefty slugger on the disabled list. In that event, Freddy Galvis would likely be a regular in the lineup at third base with Michael Young shifting across the diamond to first. Share: Phillies | Mike Adams to DL Mon, 20 May 2013 16:22:47 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies placed RP Mike Adams (back) on the 15-day disabled list Monday, May 20, and recalled C Humberto Quintero from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Adams' DL stint is backdated to May 11. Share:  |
