The Latest Phillies Injury Updates
- Brandon Marsh (right hamstring strain)
- Status: 10-day injured list, currently on rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley
- The Phillies on Sunday, April 20, placed outfielder Brandon Marsh on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 17) with a right hamstring strain. He has not played since April 16 after tweaking his knee on a play in center field during the Giants series. Cal Stevenson was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his spot on the roster.
- Manager Rob Thomson told reporters before Wednesday’s game that Marsh would work out with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in Rochester, N.Y., and play in the IronPigs’ 11:00 a.m. game on Thursday. He’ll also play in Friday’s game, and the Phillies will “see where we’re at” after that. Earlier in the week, Marsh was lifted from his fourth rehab game after two at-bats due to cramping in his right hamstring. — Last updated April 30 by Bailey Digh
- Ranger Suárez (low back stiffness)
- Status: 15-day injured list;
- Began rehab assignment on Thursday, April 10.
- Left-hander Ranger Suárez is on the injured list with back stiffness. He dealt with a back issue last year as well. Taijuan Walker has taken his place in the rotation for the time being.
- Suárez has made four minor-league rehab starts this season, and he’ll throw a bullpen on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park to determine if he needs to make another one, manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday. The Phillies want to make sure he’s healthy and ready before putting him back in the big-league rotation. Either way, Suárez doesn’t seem to be too far away. — Last Updated April 29 by Ty Daubert
- Andrew Painter (Tommy John surgery)
- Status: Assigned to Clearwater Threshers; Could be pitching in the majors this summer
- Top prospect Andrew Painter should be in line to make his big-league debut in “July-ish” as Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski put it this offseason. He hasn’t pitched in a regular season game since injuring his elbow during the spring of 2023, but he should be ready to make an impact once he’s up, even in a limited workload.
- After some confusion, it’s become apparent that Painter will remain in Clearwater — not move up to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, as Thomson initially suggested on Tuesday — for his next start. Matt Gelb of The Athletic first reported that Painter would stay with the Threshers. The right-hander will pitch on Thursday, lasting about four innings and/or 60 pitches. — Last Updated April 29 by Ty Daubert
