Player Notes
September 21, 2007
Shane Victorino was back in the lineup Thursday, his first start since Sept. 10 and only his fifth since injuring his right calf July 30. "He says he's well, and so does our trainer," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel told the AP. "I'm looking for him to get on base some, and he'll bring energy to our team." Of course the problem with Victorino playing right now is that it forces the sizzling Jayson Werth to the bench; Werth wound up pinch-hitting Thursday, hitting a three-run homer. It's hard for us to imagine Victorino playing full-time over the final 10 days.
September 13, 2007
Shane Victorino said he felt fine after he tweaked his right calf Tuesday, but manager Charlie Manuel said he didn't think about playing Victorino Wednesday night. "He keeps going back and forth," Manuel said in the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I definitely don't want to hurt him. Every time he gets in a game, he grabs his calf. It's not that I don't want to play Victorino. When I see a guy grab his leg and hobbling around, I think he's hurt."
September 12, 2007
Shane Victorino pulled up lame Tuesday while running out a groundball, aggravating the right calf strain that cost him three weeks of action and has limited him since he returned. When asked if the injury would keep him out of the lineup, Victorino told the Philadelphia Inquirer, "No. It's fine." Manager Charlie Manuel was noncommittal on the issue.
September 7, 2007
Shane Victorino will visit with team physician Michael Ciccotti on Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Victorino has played very little since straining his right calf on July 30.
September 3, 2007
Don't expect to see Shane Victorino in action any time soon. He said he will not play in any fashion until at least Friday due to his strained right calf, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Manager Charlie Manuel said Victorino could be out even longer than that. He has appeared off the bench at times since aggravating his calf injury Aug. 24 but feels he needs time off to get back to full strength.
August 26, 2007
Shane Victorino is considered day-to-day after re-aggravating his strained right calf Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Victorino said he could have played Saturday night, but Charlie Manuel kept him out of the lineup as a precautionary measure.
August 25, 2007
Shane Victorino was forced to exit Friday's game in the eighth inning after aggravating his strained right calf. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said that Victorino probably will sit out Saturday's game, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He just came off the disabled list on Wednesday, so hopefully this is just a minor setback and not something that will force him to miss significant action.
August 22, 2007
The Phillies activated Shane Victorino from the DL on Wednesday, according to the AP. He had been sidelined with a strained right calf. It remains to be seen if the calf injury will limit Victorino's stolen base attempts upon his return, but owners should at least prepare themselves that he might be not quite as aggressive on the basepaths for the next week or so.
August 21, 2007
Shane Victorino might be ready to rejoin the Phillies Wednesday, according to the AP. He's dealing with a strained right calf.
August 20, 2007
Shane Victorino was slated to begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. If all goes well, he could return from his strained right calf within a couple of days.
August 19, 2007
Shane Victorino could be ready to play in a couple of days, though the Phillies did not update his condition on Saturday, the AP reports. He's been out since July 31 with a strained right calf.
August 18, 2007
Shane Victorino (calf strain) is accompanying the Phillies this weekend and manager Charlie Manuel said it was possible he could return to action next week, according to the AP. A rehab assignment will likely be needed first.
August 17, 2007
An MRI on Shane Victorino's right calf showed no further damage, and the Phillies believe he could begin a rehab assignment next Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. He does not have a timetable for his return.
August 10, 2007
Shane Victorino will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday and is expected to be in the Phillies lineup when the team travels to Pittsburgh on August 17. He's been out since July 31 with a strained right calf. "Everything feels fine," Victorino said in the AP. "I'll probably DH the first game (on the rehab) and work my way into the outfield from there."
August 10, 2007
Shane Victorino felt some more tightness in his strained right calf on Thursday and may not be able to begin a rehab assignment this weekend. "The only way I'm going to know [if the calf is 100 percent] is if I get in a game situation," Victorino tells the Philadelphia Inquirer. "That could be either Saturday or Sunday to at least [pinch-hit]." He is eligible to come off the DL on August 15.
August 7, 2007
Shane Victorino, on the disabled list with a calf injury, began a running program Monday, according to the AP. He could start a rehab assignment this weekend. Barring any setbacks, he could begin a rehab assignment next week.
August 4, 2007
Shane Victorino, on the DL with a strained right calf, hit in the batting cage on Friday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. It's possible he'll be able to return on August 16, the day he's first eligible.
August 1, 2007
Shane Victorino (strained right calf) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday. The Phillies are hoping Victorino will be out the minimum here; he's been a key to their offense with 72 runs scored, 11 homers and 32 steals. With Michael Bourn also headed to the DL, the Phillies will use Jayson Werth and Greg Dobbs in right field the next couple of weeks.
July 30, 2007
Shane Victorino left Monday night's game against the Cubs in the fourth inning with a right calf strain, according to SportsTicker. He was replaced by Michael Bourn, who also later left with an injury.
April 5, 2007
Shane Victorino was out of the lineup on Thursday, one day after manager Charlie Manuel said his decision to try to steal third base with one out and Ryan Howard at the plate in the eighth inning was "terrible." Manuel said the blunder wasn't the reason Victorino was benched for Jayson Werth. "We talked to him a lot about being aggressive," Manuel said. "That just wasn't a good time to go."
