In a shocking turn of events, the Phillies announced that they have recalled Odubel Herrera on Monday. Herrera, 29, will be the starting centerfielder tonight, batting seventh as the Phillies face the Cardinals.
Herrera will make his first major league appearance in nearly two years following his domestic abuse case in May 2019. The outfielder was suspended 85 games by Major League Baseball and spent the entirety of the shortened 2020 season away from the game.
Spring Training Re-emergence
While Herrera was not expected to win the centerfield job at Spring Training, his invitation to camp caught many eyes.
