Phillies Place Roman Quinn On Injured List

By Dylan A. Chase | August 17, 2019 at 11:55pm CDT

The Phillies placed outfielder Roman Quinn on the 10-day injured list today, following his removal from Friday’s game with the Padres. It’s a right groin muscle strain for the 26-year-old Philadelphia product, as detailed by a report from Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Enquirer (link).

After managing a 97 wRC+ in 50 games in his rookie 2018 season, 2019 has been nothing short of a trial for the center fielder from Florida. Quinn already missed a month this season due to a similar injury, and he has only output a .213/.298/.370 slash when healthy. However, August had seen Quinn getting into a serious groove, with a .368 batting average, three homers, and four stolen bases on the month.

The pervasiveness of these lower-body injuries is especially troublesome for a player of Quinn’s profile, who bases much of his game on his 30.1 ft/sec sprint speed (6th among active players this year). In his stead, it is expected that fellow rookie Adam Haseley will receive a larger share of up-the-middle playing time.

Veteran Jared Hughes, whom the Phillies claimed off waivers from the Reds this week, was brought onto the 25-man roster to replace Quinn for the time being. The righty pitched a clean frame in tonight’s 5-3 loss to San Diego.

    These injuries are ridiculous. I hope they’re about to fire the team physician or whoever is overseeing this bloodbath of injuries.

      right, because Quinn’s groin injury and Arrieta’s bone spur and McCutchen’s torn ACL are all definitely related and therefore the fault of the team physician. Injuries happen to every team, every year–look at the Yanks this year–can’t use it as an excuse. Phils’ problem is that they don’t have the depth that NYY, LAD, or HOU has, so when a guy goes down there isn’t a readily-available, similarly-productive guy to replace him.

        How about blaming the player for possibly a lack of proper stretching before the game? He seems to get these injuries an awful lot!

          really? you think that’s the issue? I don’t think stretching is the main cause of any chronic injury.

    Guess I’ll be the one who offers:
    “Wow, I really feel bad for the guy, he’s got so much promise. All these injuries……..”

    But, I really did think a couple of years ago Quinn could be a first division player, then it just does seems like injury after injury….And to boot in the offseason he was instructed to stop switch-hitting…
    It looks like his ceiling is now as a 4th outfielder (still financially way above my income) and maybe he can stay healthy for 250pa’s…..

      I think its safe to say Quinn would be a pretty good player by now if not for injury.

    Okay, honestly this “kid” needs to learn how to rub some dirt on it and play. Are you injured or hurt. Bc I’d be getting towards the, you’re cut point. Soft is not even applicable. Mr. Glass.

        Oh get over yourself. A paper cut would keep him out of the lineup weakside.

    Quinn is a good player but he is Lonnie Chisenhall part deaux.
    He has proven that his body is not capable of meeting the demands of MLB.
    It is still very important for a player or pitcher to be able to physically perform as they do not help their team when they cannot.
    It seems that there are more and more of these players every year.It is incongruous as they all have access to healthy foods and up to date training regimens.
    I feel sorry for them but they are doomed as ML players

    I think it was in 2016 when I saw Roman Quinn hit a triple into the gap vs. the Twins in a spring training game in Fort Myers, Florida. On hits like that, one tends to watch the ball and the fielder who is in pursuit before focusing back towards the infield to see where the runner is. Quinn was already jogging the last few steps into third base by the time the ball got back to the infield. I’ve since see replays of him when tripling and I gotta tell you, he just might be the fastest runner the Phillies have ever had.

    Pity he gets hurt so often. Some say injuries can’t be predicted. But, for me, the best indicator for injuries are previous injuries. There are just some guys, no matter how hard they train, whose bodies are just not wired to withstand the daily grind of MLB baseball.

    Therein lies a point.Maybe these guys are training too much and their bodies cannot withstand it.

    If Phillies want to compete they need to get rid of some players an Quinn would be one of them
