In a recent development, the Philadelphia Phillies have been forced to make adjustments to their roster due to concerning injuries. Here are the latest updates:
RHP Yunior Marte Placed on 15-Day IL Yunior Marte, the right-handed pitcher, has been sidelined due to inflammation in his right shoulder. The Phillies have placed him on the 15-day injured list as a result. To fill his spot on the active roster, the team has recalled RHP José Ruiz from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Ruiz, who boasts a commendable 1.64 ERA in 10 appearances with Lehigh Valley, brings his Major League experience to the fold, having pitched in 212 MLB games.
Uncertainty Surrounding Marte’s Recovery Phillies manager Rob Thomson has expressed uncertainty regarding the timeline for Marte’s recovery. While surgery is not deemed necessary, the exact duration of his absence remains unclear. Marte first raised concerns about his shoulder during the team’s series in San Diego at the end of April, with the issue resurfacing during his subsequent outing against the Angels in Anaheim.
RHP Luis F. Ortiz Dealing with Multiple Issues Luis F. Ortiz, another right-handed pitcher, finds himself grappling with injuries as well. While officially on the injured list due to a sprained left ankle suffered in March, Ortiz has encountered additional discomfort in his right shoulder during his rehab assignment. Although the team believes it to be a minor issue, they are proceeding cautiously with Ortiz’s recovery.
RHP Dylan Covey’s Recovery Status Dylan Covey, dealing with a right shoulder strain, continues his rehabilitation process. Despite not having pitched since early March, Covey remains engaged in throwing activities. Phillies manager Rob Thomson has provided reassurance that Covey is progressing, albeit without a definitive timeline for his return to action.
These updates underscore the challenges faced by the Phillies as they navigate through the early stages of the season, emphasizing the importance of depth and flexibility within the roster.
