PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jimmy Rollins isn’t in the Phillies’ starting lineup because of bruised left foot.
The three-time All-Star shortstop got hurt when he fouled a ball of his foot during Philadelphia’s 5-4 win over Colorado on Monday. He finished the game. X-rays on the foot were negative and Rollins is listed as day-to-day. Manager Charlie Manuel says the former NL MVP probably will need a couple days off.
Wilson Valdez took Rollins’ spot in the opener of a three-game series against Arizona on Tuesday night. A calf injury landed Rollins on the disabled list twice earlier in the season.
