Phillies Place Seranthony Dominguez On 15-Day IL

By Mark Polishuk | June 17, 2023 at 2:05pm CDT

The Phillies announced that left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and right-hander Yunior Marte have been called up from Triple-A.  In corresponding moves, right-hander Luis Ortiz was optioned to Triple-A, while reliever Seranthony Dominguez was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left oblique strain.  Dominguez’s placement is retroactive to June 16.

The severity of Dominguez’s strain isn’t yet known, and both the Phillies and the right-hander can only hope that it isn’t the type of lingering oblique problem that can sideline a player for months.  Dominguez is unfortunately no stranger to long-term injuries, though an oblique strain is at least far less of a concern than the Tommy John surgery that cost him almost all of the 2020-21 seasons.

After posting a 3.00 ERA over 51 regular-season innings and then an outstanding 1.69 ERA over 10 2/3 postseason frames in 2022, Dominguez hasn’t been quite as effective this year.  The righty has a 4.33 ERA in 27 innings out of the Philly bullpen, with a 22.2% strikeout rate that is well below his 29.9% average from his first four MLB seasons.  On the plus side, Dominguez’s 8.7% walk rate is a career low (albeit still under the league average) and he does have a .350 BABIP.  It is also worth noting that Dominguez’s numbers look a lot better when you subtract his first appearance of the season, a disastrous outing against the Rangers that saw Dominguez allow four earned runs without recording a single out.

Sanchez will start today’s game against the A’s, marking the left-hander’s second start and appearance of the 2023 season.  A triceps injury during Spring Training sent Sanchez to the injured list at the start of the season, and might have cost him an opportunity to win a job in Philadelphia’s rotation.  That door is still open for Sanchez, as the Phillies are still looking for any kind of stability with their fifth starter role.

    Hopefully they can fix him in AAA like they fixed Alvarado. Seranthony has been a heart attack on the mound this year.

      His last outing looked good. Closers tend to underperform when being moved to the 6th or 7th inning. He’s still got great stuff. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Phillies look great right now. I’m enjoying June while it lasts.

    And yet Dylan Covey is still standing?
    At least Pache is back, that improves the O and D a bit. Now what to do with Harrison? It seems like it’s not his season.
    Could be time for a Scotty Jetpax return…? He can fill in at 7 spots and hit any worse than Harrison?

      Seranthony might have just saved Covey’s job.

      I’d take Harrison over Jetpax, but Covey…ugh. Phils need a 5th starter.

        Harrison is done. He had a nice career, but he has no value whatsoever anymore. He is a weak defender at both second and third, and can’t hit. Kingery, is an above average infielder defensively ( and a good baserunner). Will he hit enough to help the Phillies? There is absolutely nothing to lose in finding out!!

          I think he’s fine as a backup utility infielder. He had some clutch hits. Kingery was an automatic out.

        I’d rather bring barely falter back up and put him in the bullpen or maybe even give him a start the next time the number five spot comes into the rotation. but I also wouldn’t mind seeing Griff McGarry come up to possibly pitch in the bullpen Covey has got to go

          McGarry’s command completely evaporated at AA the other day. He isn’t ready.

      Several people have been talking about Kingery across multiple Phillies forums. It’s pretty evident he ticked someone off. No matter how good he does, he won’t sniff MLB in a Phillies uniform again.

      WHy they don’t cut him or trade him IDK.

      Sad really. Kid had some promise and the previous regime really messed him up.

        Kingery got his deal and all of Philly was like huh? They changed his swing along with Hoskins….Both failed. Kid got yo-yo’d between positions. He “bulked” up. Got hurt. Got his own swing coach. Klentak et al got tossed. Dombrowski moved on.
        The entirety of his career shrieks -mishandled-.
        Not saying he would have become either Pedroia 2.0 OR Zobrist 2.0. IMO in order to BE either, he should have been allowed to mature at the MLB level at least a bit….no..?
        Might as well give him a last shot as he’ll be playing both for the Phils and his next(?) contract…..as stated Harrison looks overmatched?

          Um, no. Kingery got his chances and failed. He ruined his career when he changed his swing.

          Ur usually a good phillies poster, but the fact you put all the blame on kingery is absurd. The organization changed his swing. After all the failures he hired a swing coach.
          Facts…..
          Yes I am a kingery apologist to a degree, but to blame him is like saying hoskins asked for the move to LF…

    The ghosts of the past regime still linger as the Phillies have nobody to call up to fill out the 5th spot. The minors are filled with cobwebs. Quite embarrassing actually. It’s exactly why the Braves are light years ahead of them

    So, I watched Harrison in right field yesterday. It was ugly. While he did get a hit, he really hasn’t fined much. I’m not gonna say Kingery is the answer because I don’t know. I just feel they can do better. Pache (sp) is fun to watch in the outfield. Also doesn’t hit much.
    Lots of rumors about Paul Goldschmidt. While I love his game, really don’t want to give up our meager prospects for two years.
