The Phillies currently have seven players on the disabled list, and one of them is Jerad Eickhoff. The young starter has been rehabbing a strained right lat since the spring and has been scheduled to be a part of the Phillies’ rotation when he returns later this month, a sentiment stated at different times by both Matt Klentak and Gabe Kapler.
But nooooow....
Jerad Eickhoff pitched today in an extended spring training game. Gabe Kapler would not commit to Eickhoff having a rotation spot when he returns from the DL. Kapler said two weeks ago that Eickhoff would rejoin rotation when he returns.
