Odubel Herrera's talent is underappreciated

Odubel Herrera is about to return to the Phillies’ lineup after a three-week absence caused by a hamstring injury. If you don’t think that’s good news for the Phillies, then you have obviously been fixated on those moments when the center fielder drives you insane a lot more than the ones when he is playing like one of the best Rule 5 selections in major-league history.

“I definitely belong to the camp that views him as a tremendous talent and an excellent player,” Phillies general manager Matt Klentak said.

Odubel Herrera is expected to return from a hamstring injury when the Phillies open a series Monday against the New York Mets at CitiField.
