Odubel Herrera Could Return By Friday
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera (oblique) will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley this week, and manager Joe Girardi said that Herrera could return to the team as early as their next homestand, which begins on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Herrera has been on a rehab assignment with Single-A Clearwater since April 12. The 30-year-old center fielder began the regular season on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique, but he has made good progress and could make his season debut at some point this weekend. When he's back, expect Matt Vierling and Herrera to split playing time in center field, with Herrera seeing the strong side of the platoon against right-handers.
