Phillies Place Roman Quinn On IL

By George Miller | August 16, 2020 at 1:00pm CDT

The Phillies have placed outfielder Roman Quinn on the COVID-19 injured list and have recalled Kyle Garlick, according to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Quinn, however, has not tested positive for the coronavirus. Rather, the outfielder cited minor symptoms this morning and will sit out as a precautionary measure. As such, there’s no minimum time that Quinn must spend on the injured list; he may be activated as soon as he is cleared to play.

With Quinn landing on the injured list, the Phillies are left without a true center fielder on the active roster. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle the position in the coming days; Garlick has no experience in center, though Bryce Harper does. Even so, it seems more likely that Scott Kingery will serve as Quinn’s replacement.

Either way, we’re hopeful that it’s a brief absence for Quinn and that he’s avoided contracting COVID-19. If that’s the case and he tests negative, it shouldn’t be long before he’s back in the lineup for Philly. With Adam Haseley on the injured list, Quinn has been a capable starter for the Phillies, batting .278/.297/.500 in 37 plate appearances this year.

Even though they haven’t had any cases during the regular season, they’ve had to work around several postponements due to their proximity to the Marlins at the outset of the outbreak within the Miami organization. Having played their 17th game this afternoon, they’re still slightly behind most MLB teams, but are largely caught up by now.

      Poor Quinn on the IL after being the hero against the Mets.

      They need more than 1 bullpen arm. And I’d reverse 2 and 3, but you’re not wrong.

      Is that last off-season’s list?

        They did get their starter last off-season, and he’s been real solid so far. Starting pitching is not the problem right now. It’s all bullpen.

    All of a sudden the Phils are short in CF… Wish the 1-1 pick a few years ago was farther along ..

      I feel like Moniak is just gonna be a 4th outfielder , just look at what happened to Nick Williams. He never got the playing time.

        Moniak will be lucky to make it at the bigs at this point.

          Moniak was the worst pick they could have made. I said it day 1.

          hardly. he was still pegged as a 1st round talent. there were many worse picks to make. i agree he wasnt the best, but it wasnt a huge reach given how many other guys they could have picked.

          he’s still quite young and has shown some glimpses. still has yet to become rule 5 eligible. i dont know if he becomes anything more then a 4th OF in the Majors but all things considered that would be a win given how things stand now.

      How I wish they picked Lewis even at that time that’s who I wanted then to draft

        in hindsight, Lewis’s injuries are a concern. he’s been great recently but still is far from proven. honestly, i would have preferred Ray and Groome to Moniak, but neither of those two have done well, which shows just how bad that draft was.

          For me I’d love to have seen Lewis/Senzel/Puk. I don’t want to say Moniak isn’t talented, I believe he got comparisons to Yelich(before MVP Yelich)

    Quinn can make some boneheaded plays in the OF, but he also flashes really optimistic moments like his arm from CF is really really good.

    He needs to take more pitches at the plate. Someone with his speed and sub .300 OBP is ridiculous. He’s not even that big of a guy so his strike zone isn’t like we’re talking about a 6’5″ behemoth. Take pitches, get walks, get on base.

    It sucks that he can’t play a full season. He has skills and has ability to be really good. Hope he returns from this soon.
