Pedro Florimon News
After exiting Tuesday nights game with a foot injury, the worst fears have been realized for Philadelphia Phillies infielder Pedro Florimon. The 31-year-old suffered a broken foot when he fouled a ball off of it in the first inning of the victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers. As a result of his injury and subsequent disabled list stint, the club announced that Mitch Walding will be promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 25-year-old has spent the past seven seasons in the minor leagues, hitting 25 home runs at Double-A Reading last season. It's unlikely he'll see enough playing time to be fantasy relevant.
The Philadelphia Phillies had to go to their bench early on Tuesday night against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. With Rhys Hoskins out, infielder Pedro Florimon (foot) batted second and started at third. In the very first inning, however, he fouled a ball off his foot and would not emerge from the dugout to play defense in the bottom of the frame. Maikel Franco, who was originally scheduled to have the night off, took over at third base. At this point, there are no further updates on Florimons status, but well provide them as soon as they emerge.
The Philadelphia Phillies were soundly defeated by the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night after a lengthy rain delay pushed the games start time back over an hour and a half. The pitching staff was rocked, with Jake Arrieta, Drew Hutchison and Yacksel Rios combining to surrender 12 runs on 15 hits through seven innings. Entering the eighth, manager Gabe Kapler opted to rest his remaining relievers and sent out veteran infielder Pedro Florimon to get his clubs final three defensive outs of the night. The 31-year-old was the most successful pitcher of the night, retiring all three batters he faced and tossing 14 pitches. As if that wasn't enough, he stepped up to the plate in the top of the ninth and delivered a home run for good measure.
