Phillies SS Rollins Plagued By Groin Strain | |
By SportsDirect Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins will not make his return to the diamond for Tuesday’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Rollins was eligible to return from the 15-day disabled list, but his groin strain has not completely healed. “I think it’s going to be a day-to-day thing as to when he’s going to be ready, and ready to go,” Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “But he’s getting closer.” Rollins, who was injured while robbing Washington’s Jesus Flores of a base hit, is batting .268 with 14 homers and 58 RBIs this season. The Phillies cruised to a 9-0 triumph in the series opener on Monday to extend their lead in the National League East to 8 1/2 games.

Polanco, who hasn’t played since Aug. 6, missed 19 games in July with lower back inflammation. The 35-year-old infielder is hitting .275 with four home runs and 40 RBI in 89 games this season. The Phillies called up right-handed pitcher Michael Schwimer from Lehigh Valley. Schwimer is 9-1 with 10 saves, 86 strikeouts and a 1.88 earned run average in 46 games with the Class AAA club. The team also put right-hander Joe Blanton on the 60-day disabled list. Blanton has been out since late April with right elbow inflammation.

This is the first trip to the DL for Pierzynski, who leads American League catchers in batting average, games played and innings caught. That’s all for today guys, i’ll be back to blog you tomorrow.
