The latest on the coronavirus-related situations around the league:
- The Phillies announced they’ve placed right-handers Chase Anderson and David Hale on the COVID-19 injured list. Lefty Cristopher Sánchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, while reliever Héctor Neris was reinstated from the paternity list in corresponding moves. Anderson has made eleven appearances (eight starts) this season, pitching to a 7.34 ERA/5.21 SIERA. Hale, meanwhile, has managed a 5.64 ERA/4.20 SIERA over 13 appearances.
Phillies fans: I see this as an absolute win
Do they have to come off the list or can they stay on for the season?
Seriously. No one is upset to see them go for a bit
You have to ask yourself, is this COVID or roster manipulation?
I’d guess that they would just use the IL to manipulate the roster. It would be a s***storm if it came out that they lied about a positive test what with all of the necessary contract tracing that goes on
It would be a bad time to do that since Spencer Howard had a short start yesterday, and Vince Velazquez is always an early inning blow up candidate. They may have just gotten vaccine shots and been feeling under the weather.
Absolutely…every team is doing this.
I predict Kintzler will be next on the COVID list… .
Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Lol
Has any team abused the covid list more than the Phillies? I have no idea how they’re getting away with all this.
