3 years agoPhiladelphia 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.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
