LATEST NEWS
10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST
SS Trea Turner (strained left hamstring)
Expected return: Mid-to-late June
Turner injured his hamstring while scoring from second base on a passed ball in the Phillies' May 3 game against the Giants. He said the following day that he expects to miss at least six weeks.
This is Turner's first non-COVID IL stint since 2019, when he missed six weeks with a broken right index finger. His only other IL stints came in 2017, when he missed two months with a fractured right wrist and 12 days with a strained right hamstring, though this one is far more severe than that injury.

RHP Yunior Marte (right shoulder inflammation)
Expected return: TBD
Marte has started to play catch, but has a long way to go before he gets back on a mound. Manager Rob Thomson said Marte first mentioned his shoulder issue during the team’s weekend series in San Diego in late April. It cropped up again in his last appearance a few days later against the Angels in Anaheim. (Last updated: May 8)
RHP Luis F. Ortiz (sprained left ankle)
Expected return: May
While Ortiz is officially on the IL because of a sprained left ankle he suffered on March 30, the Phillies officially recalled him from his rehab assignment because of inflammation in his right shoulder. He started to feel something in the shoulder following a couple rehab appearances with Single-A Clearwater.
“We don’t think it’s anything, but we’re just taking it easy on him,” manager Rob Thomson said recently. (Last updated: May 8)
