Jose Ruiz (neck spasm)
Status: 15-day injured list, will begin rehab assignment on May 13 (retroactive to May 1)
Ruiz, minutes before the start of the May 3 game against the Diamondbacks, was placed on the IL with a neck spasm. The Phillies needed to clear a roster spot for Suárez, so the Phillies get to retain Ruiz — and reliever Carlos Hernandez — for now.
Ruiz will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday, May 13 with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He’ll make another rehab appearance on Friday. — Last updated on May 12 by Destiny Lugardo
Andrew Painter (Tommy John surgery)
Status: Will make next start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley
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.
Painter’s second start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley is scheduled for Thursday, May 15. He is slated to throw five innings and 75 pitches. — Last updated on May 12 by Destiny Lugardo
So, we have a lot of injuries. This is part of the recent losses, but not all of it. The entire team is in some kind of slump, and it reminds me of what has been going on with the Braves.
