UPDATE: According to General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr., Ibanez has been nursing this groin injury since April. Apparently, it has flared up in recent weeks and got to point where the Phillies feared a more serious injury. Ibanez will undergo an MRI today to see if there is any structural damage.
After displaying a heavy limp when running out a ground ball to first base in last night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, it was clear that Raul Ibanez was not right. Well, those suspicions have been confirmed as the Philadelphia Phillies have placed Raul Ibanez on the 15-day DL. The Early report is that Ibanez is going on the DL with a strained groin, which is a bit surprising since he just missed a game with a sore Achilles tendon.
John Mayberry Jr. has been called up to fill in for Ibanez.
It is no secret that Ibanez has been the team’s best and most consistent player this season and losing him for any length of time is a blow to this team. But it stands as particularly tough pill to swallow as the Phillies struggle through a nine-game home stand that has seen them go 1-4 to date.
Mayberry is a capable backup that should help provide some of the spark the Phillies will lose with Ibanez on the shelf. But there is no doubt that this injury comes at a point where the Phillies are playing some of the worst baseball they have played this season.
