The Latest Phillies Injury Updates 2:16

Trea Turner (left hamstring strain)
Status: 10-day injured list
Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain on May 4. He declined to reveal what grade the strain is, but said he expects to miss “six weeks or so.”
Turner took some ground balls, did his cage routine, some light running drills on the field and threw at Citizens Bank Park before May 15’s game against the New York Mets.
When asked for a timeline on Turner, manager Rob Thomson said “there is none.” (Updated by Tim Kelly on May 15.)

Yunior Marte (right shoulder inflammation)
Status: 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 1
Marte “felt a little something” after his scoreless appearance against the San Diego Padres on April 28, manager Rob Thomson said. After the feeling went away, it really “flared up” during his appearance against the Los Angeles Angels on April 30. He wasn’t available during the final game of the Angels series, and ultimately was placed on the injured list on May 3.
Marte threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on May 15 that went “very well,” according to Thomson. (Updated by Tim Kelly on May 15)

Luis Ortiz (right shoulder inflammation)
Status: 15-day injured list
Ortiz has been on the injured list since March 31 with a left ankle sprain. He has progressed from that injury, even making two rehab appearances for Single-A Clearwater. However, the most recent came on April 25. That’s because he was shut down for a period with right shoulder inflammation.
Ortiz is throwing up to 90 feet, per Thomson. (Updated by Tim Kelly on May 15.)

Rafael Marchán (lower back)
Status: 10-day injured list
Rob Thomson told the media present at Citi Field on May 14 that “there’s speculation” that Marchán’s back issue originally stemmed from the workload he had in the Venezuelan Winter League.
Marchán went 1-for-2 with a walk in a rehab appearance for Single-A Clearwater on May 14. (Updated by Tim Kelly on May 15)

Michael Rucker (right hand arterial vasospasm)
Status: 15-day injured list
Rucker threw a bullpen session on May 14, and is set to throw another one on May 17. (Updated by Tim Kelly on May 15)

Dylan Covey (right shoulder strain)
Status: 15-day injured list
Covey is still dealing with his shoulder strain, and was backed off of throwing. As he was doing some conditioning work, he also slightly pulled a hamstring. He’s currently in Philadelphia seeing the team doctors, but is expected to head back to Clearwater Friday. (Updated by Tim Kelly on May 8)
