Matt Joyce News
The Philadelphia Phillies designated outfielder Matt Joyce for assignment on Sunday. The team selected the contract of pitcher Hans Crouse in a corresponding move and Crouse went on to start Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 37-year-old Joyce has been injured for a great deal of the season and he's struggled immensely at the plate when he's been active. Over 43 games this year, he's slashed .091/.261/.218 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs.
The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Matt Joyce (back) on the 10-day injured list due to a lower back strain on Saturday. Fellow outfielder Matt Vierling was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. The team also called up catcher Rafael Marchan while placing catcher Andrew Knapp on the seven-day concussion injured list. Joyce has struggled significantly at the plate this year. Over 36 games, he's slashed .100/.258/.240 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Matt Joyce hit a grand slam in a blowout win over the Reds on Tuesday night in Cincinnati. The visitors already had a 10 run lead when Joyce pinch-hit for the pitcher, but that didn't stop the veteran outfielder from getting in on the fun in the 17-run outburst for the Phils' offense. Despite the salami, there's not much to get excited about with Joyce for fantasy purposes. He serves as the fourth-outfielder and has started just two games in the last week. With Bryce Harper (wrist) close to returning, Joyce feels like the likely candidate to send down to clear a roster spot when one is needed. He can be left on waivers in fantasy.
