Injuries & Moves: Bohm exits Saturday with hip tightness
LATEST NEWS
May 4: 3B Alec Bohm (right hip tightness) departs early
Bohm exited Saturday night's 14-3 win over the Giants in the bottom of the third inning due to right hip tightness, though the Phillies said the move was made "as a precaution." Bohm was initially checked on by the training staff following his at-bat in the bottom of the second inning, when he roped a single to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. He also had an RBI hit-by-pitch (unrelated to the hip issue) in the first inning.
Though Bohm returned to the field in the top of third, he was pinch-hit for by Whit Merrifield in the bottom half. Manager Rob Thomson said he simply didn't want to take any chances with the Phillies leading 9-1 at the time on a cold, rain-soaked night in Philadelphia. Thomson added that Bohm could return to the lineup as soon as Sunday.
May 4: SS Trea Turner placed on 10-day IL; INF Kody Clemens recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley
Turner was placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain on Saturday. The injury occurred when he scored from second on a passed ball during Friday's 4-3 victory over the Giants. Turner is batting .343 with two home runs, nine RBIs, 10 stolen bases and an .852 OPS this season.
Clemens went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBIs on April 22 at Cincinnati, his lone big league appearance of the season.
May 3: RHP Yunior Marte (shoulder) to 15-day IL; RHP José Ruiz recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley
The Phillies placed Marte on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder. To take his place on the 26-man roster, the Phillies selected Ruiz’s contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Ruiz, who will wear No. 66, had a 1.64 ERA in 10 appearances with Lehigh Valley. He has pitched in 212 MLB games, where he is 5-8 with a 4.51 ERA for his career.
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 approximately 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
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said they don’t know how much time Marte might miss because of his shoulder issue, but he said surgery is not required. Thomson said Marte first mentioned it 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.

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 leaping for a high chopper in his March 30 big league appearance, 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,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said recently. (Last updated: May 3)
