Phillies Place Daniel Nava On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | July 26, 2017 at 2:00pm CDT

The Phillies have placed outfielder Daniel Nava on the 10-day DL with a hamstring injury, per a club announcement. His roster spot will go to Aaron Altherr, who was activated from his own time on the disabled list.

The move likely eliminates Nava as a possible trade piece. He had seemed to be a possible bench bat target for some organizations, but now teams looking for an option against right-handed pitching will need to look elsewhere.

Of course, it’s still possible Nava could be moved in August, if he’s able to makeit back to health. Though he isn’t earning much money (just $1.35MM), Nava is not a long-term asset, so he could clear waivers or be dealt to a claiming team. The trade return likely wouldn’t be significant, though that was always the case.

The 34-year-old switch-hitter has knocked around opposing righties to the tune of a .358/.445/.495 slash in 128 plate appearances on the year, with 16 walks against 19 strikeouts. As usual, he has been far less effective (.475 OPS) against left-handed pitching, but it’s also worth noting that Nava has drawn strong grades for his glovework — albeit in a limited sample.

    This stinks. Thought we could’ve traded him.

      It looks like the Phillies are planning on standing pat at the deadline just like they did last year.

        They won’t stand pat. Neshek will be traded in July. Kendrick will be traded by the end of August.

        There’s not much demand for their other players other than maybe Benoit. It’s a buyer’s market it feels this year, and the Phillies just lack appealing pieces.

      It would cost Nava, Crawford, Moniak, Herrera, Joseph, and Franco just to get the conversation started for Gray. My team plans on competing soon, so it will take a lot to pry one of the best in the business from us. I expect my A’s to compete for the west next year and then for the World Series in 2019.

        Delusional? Being in s small market, you’re revealing yourself. Phils could get the better Darvish for less and pay him going forward. Only thing standing in the way of the A’s success are the Astros, Rangers and Mariners.

          phils can just sign Darvish as FA.

        @ Just Another Fan…You keep telling yourself that skippy, and you just might believe it. The same Gray who’s only 8 games over .500 for his career and cant stay healthy ? NOT !

        If you think Gray and his injury issues are going to net that kind of return you must be kidding.

        Gray won’t get anything close to that if he does get moved. Decent pitcher (decent not a stud) with an injury history.

    Seth Smith, more power and better playerr IMHO

    I’m having a hard time grasping the phillies plan. They need to move neshek at least, and can someone explain to me why Andres Blanco and Ty Kelly’s sub .200 batting averages are wasting away roster spots on a team that’s supposed to be rebuilding? Everything’s so out of whack with this team right now

      Look , why do the Phillies need to move antibody. Their in last Place.
      Keeping a Neshek means nothing in the Long run,

      It’s other Teams that need a Good Spot reliver in August and Sept .
      Build thru the Draft and good Free agent signing !

        I just want to see them keep building up the farm and neshek will get the best return of anyone so he needs to be traded. I don’t understand why it looks like they won’t make any moves until august.

    Last year, Hellickson was the only legitimate trade chip and they took a gamble hoping to get a compensation pick. Can’t really fault them for that. This season, however, Neshek HAS to be traded and Kendrick and Nava should be traded in August.
    Benoit and Hellickson have no value so any offer you get for them, if any, take it.

      All we can do is wait and see what klentak decides…hopefully he releases blanco and calls up Hoskins to start…
