Phillies injury update

The Phillies’ offense is one hitter deeper with the return of Austin Hays, who has hit .350 this season against lefties and alters the outfield picture slightly.

Initially in the lineup Wednesday, Kyle Schwarber was scratched by the Phillies the night after suffering an elbow injury on a dive back to first base.

Kyle Schwarber made history in the first inning Tuesday night, then exited in the fourth inning with an elbow injury. The Phillies are more than a little banged up.

The Phillies have three weeks left in the regular season, 19 games to play and a slew of injuries. Updates on five of their banged-up players as the finish line approaches.

Alec Bohm is still unable to swing without pain, and while the Phillies hope to have him back as soon as possible, they acknowledged it might take longer than 10 more days.

The Phillies believed Alec Bohm would not require time on the injured list but placed him on the 10-day IL Friday, retroactive to September 3.

Alec Bohm is likely out until the Phillies’ series in Miami but Rob Thomson still doesn’t think he’ll require time on the injured list.

Alec Bohm was out of the Phillies’ lineup for a third straight game Sunday night but is making progress recovering from a left hand strain.

Bryce Harper is dealing with nagging soreness and riding a three-week home run drought but has been hesitant to expand or make excuses.

Alec Bohm was removed from the Phillies’ series opener against the Braves after the second inning with left hand discomfort.

Saturday’s simulated game proved beneficial for Ranger Suarez and Austin Hays, who could both potentially be activated next weekend in Kansas City.

Austin Hays described his hamstring strain as “very mild” and expects to be back soon. How will Cal Stevenson, the next man up, be utilized?

Left fielder Austin Hays was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday afternoon as the Phillies called up two new faces.

Phillies left fielder Austin Hays exited Wednesday’s series finale at Dodger Stadium with left hamstring tightness after grounding out to third base in the third inning.

Ranger Suarez is dealing with a back issue again and this time, it landed him on the injured list.

Ranger Suarez and Zack Wheeler will be back early next week while J.T. Realmuto returned to the Phillies’ lineup Saturday, with Rob Thomson explaining why Rafael Marchan was the odd man out.

J.T. Realmuto is “very close” and could be back for the Phillies this weekend. Plus, the latest on Zack Wheeler and Ranger Suarez.

Bryce Harper was out of the Phillies’ lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers with a bruised hand from a defensive play in the series opener, while Zack Wheeler is questionable for Sunday’s start.

Bryce Harper took the final step Sunday toward returning to the Phillies’ lineup and might be active as soon as Tuesday along with Kyle Schwarber.

Barring a setback, Rob Thomson said he would be surprised if Kyle Schwarber is not activated from the injured list Tuesday when first eligible.
