Odúbel Herrera News
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera is out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. It will be Herrera's second straight game starting on the bench, and his 2-for-33 (.061) stretch at the plate in nine games over the last two weeks probably has a lot to do with it. The recent cold streak has dropped his season line to .230/.267/.401 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases in 49 games. With Herrera out again, Matt Vierling will get the start in center field and will bat ninth against Braves right-hander Ian Anderson. You can probably do much better than Vierling in DFS if you're looking for an outfielder sleeper. He's hitting .237 with three homers, seven RBI and two stolen bases in 93 at-bats in 2021.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera was scratched from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers about 30 minutes before the first pitch. He was the second Philly to be scratched from the team's original starting lineup. Nick Castellanos was an earlier scratch to tend to the birth of his child. As for Herrera, we have not been given the reason for his scratch yet. Perhaps he's racing to the hospital with the hope of earning some godfather points for the soon-to-be-born Castellanos child. Matt Vierling is taking over for Herrera in center field and batting ninth in Tuesday's game.
The Philadelphia Phillies activated outfielder Odubel Herrera (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Simon Muzziotti to Double-A Reading in a corresponding move. Herrera began the regular season on the injured list due to a right oblique strain that was suffered early in spring training. The 30-year-old hit .281 with three doubles, four runs scored and three RBI in eight minor league rehab games. Herrera should make his season debut on Friday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta while playing center field, and he should be on the strong side of a platoon at the position with Matt Vierling in Philadelphia.
