Odubel Herrera is back, but can he make a difference for Phillies?
Odubel Herrera missed nearly three weeks and has looked rusty at the plate since his return. The Phillies need him to contribute with the bat. (Ian D’Andrea)During a 3-2 victory over the division-rival New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park on April 17, Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera came away limping after tracking down a 5th inning fly ball in left-center field.
As it turns out, Herrera had strained his right hamstring. He would leave the contest, be placed on the Injured List, and miss the next 14 games. The man who would replace him, Roman Quinn, was activated from the IL the very next day following a minor league rehab stint for his own oblique injury.
