"Phillies' Josh Harrison Lands on Injured List, Noah Song Promoted to Double-A Reading"

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed utility infielder Josh Harrison on the 10-day injured list with a bruised right wrist, retroactive to last Sunday. The team will make a corresponding roster move on Friday, potentially seeking a right-handed hitter with more versatility to replace Harrison. In other news, Noah Song's rehab assignment will be transferred to double-A Reading, raising the stakes for the Phillies to either reinstate him from the injured list or risk losing him. As a Rule 5 draft pick, Song cannot be optioned to the minors, and the Phillies must add him to the active roster or place him on waivers.

Phillies' Rob Thomson Utilizes Righty-Lefty Platoon Strategy in Win Against Cubs

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson continues to use righty-lefty platoons in the lineup, including last night's game against the Chicago Cubs. While the strategy makes sense in some cases, it doesn't seem to be working well in others. The team may need to reconsider playing veteran Josh Harrison over youngster Bryson Stott against left-handed pitchers, especially considering Stott's better performance in those matchups. If the Phillies want to upgrade Harrison's roster spot, they could consider internal option Scott Kingery, who has been hitting well in Triple-A and offers versatility in multiple positions. The team may also need to address other needs, such as adding pitching depth and a right-handed hitter with power for left field.
