Last week, Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said that his team didn’t have an everyday center fielder “right now.” This week, the Phillies really don’t have an everyday center fielder.
Tuesday morning, MLB placed Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera on administrative leave after he was arrested Monday evening and charged with simple assault after a domestic incident with his girlfriend. According to Jim Salisbury and Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Herrera is due back in court on June 17. Given that – and that the league will itself investigate the alleged incident – it’s unclear if and when Herrera will return to the Phillies.
