Joe Girardi asks for Odúbel Herrera to be given chance to show improved self

Odúbel Herrera isn’t at Philadelphia Phillies major league camp, but has been invited to mini-camp at Clearwater and will have a chance to prove himself on multiple fronts.

Herrera hasn’t played for the Phillies since May of 2019, when he was arrested in Atlantic City after a domestic incident took place between him and his then-20-year-old girlfriend. The most notable portion of the police report alleged that “the victim had visible signs of injury to her arms and neck.” Herrera served an 85-game suspension in 2018 after his girlfriend chose not to move forward with a legal case against the outfielder.
