DIDI GREGORIUS NEWS

Dealing with elbow issue Gregorius' absence from the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants is due to swelling in his right elbow, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The injury doesn't sound like a particularly serious one, with manager Joe Girardi saying simply, "He needed a day." Nick Maton starts at shortstop in his absence, but Gregorius appears to have a chance to return as soon as Tuesday.

Not starting Monday Gregorius is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact The Phillies placed three players on the COVID-19 injured list Monday, but Gregorius isn't one of them, so he appears to be getting simply a routine day off. Nick Maton will make his major-league debut in his place at shortstop.

Idle Wednesday Gregorius is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Hit streak at 11 games Gregorius went 3-for-7 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday as the Phillies were swept in a doubleheader against the Mets.

Impact The Phillies only managed 12 hits in total across both ends of the twin bill and got shut out in the nightcap, but Gregorius' bat wasn't one of the quiet ones. The shortstop had had a strong start to the season, collecting a hit in all 11 games and going 13-for-41 (.317) with two homers, nine RBI and a steal, but he's only scored two runs while hitting consistently in the bottom half of the order.

Contributes four RBI Gregorius went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Braves.

Impact Gregorius capped off a four-run fourth inning with a three-run homer to right to give his team a 5-3 lead. The 31-year-old drove in his fourth run of the night in the ninth on a controversial sac fly in which Alec Bohm was called safe at home despite the replay review showing that he missed home plate on his slide attempt. Regardless, it was a big night for Gregorius, who now has six RBI in his last two games and has recorded a hit in all nine games to begin the year.

Goes yard Tuesday Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Mets.

Impact The shortstop took Marcus Stroman deep in the fourth inning to get the Phillies on the board. It was Gregorius' first homer of the year and the blast extended his season-opening hit streak to five games. After launching 26 homers in 142 contests over two shortened campaigns in 2019 and 2020, he's looking to take a run this season at the career-high 27 he slugged in 2018.

Back in lineup Gregorius (head) is starting Saturday's spring game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Gregorius has been sidelined since he was hit in the head by a pitch against Toronto on Tuesday. However, Gregorius wasn't diagnosed with a concussion and will return to the lineup Saturday, batting fifth and playing shortstop. Barring any setbacks, the 31-year-old should be on time as he still has roughly two weeks to prepare for Opening Day.

Could return Saturday Gregorius (head) could return Saturday if his evaluation goes well Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gregorius was hit in the head by a pitch Tuesday against the Blue Jays. If the evaluation reveals a concussion, Gregorius could be at risk of missing Opening Day, but he could be cleared to return right away if that's not the case. If he does wind up missing time, Jean Segura would be the top candidate to play shortstop, with Scott Kingery filling in at second base.

MARCH 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Checkup coming Friday Manager Joe Girardi said Gregorius (head) is scheduled to be re-evaluated Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Phillies haven't confirmed that Gregorius suffered a concussion when he was struck in the back of the helmet with a pitch in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, but the fact that he'll require further examination heading into the weekend isn't the most reassuring sign. Once the re-evaluation is completed, the Phillies should provide more definitive word on the severity of Gregrious' head injury, but for now, he can be viewed as day-to-day. Scott Kingery or Jean Segura would likely be the next men up at shortstop if Gregorius isn't ready for Opening Day.

Exits after getting hit in head Gregorius left Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit in the back of the helmet with a pitch, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gregorius initially remained in the game, which could be a positive sign, but he later left the dugout with a team trainer. If he suffered an injury serious enough to cost him regular-season action, Jean Segura would likely slide back to shortstop, opening up second base for Scott Kingery.

Nearing game action Gregorius should get into game action by the end of the week, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Gregorius' arrival was slightly delayed by visa issues, but those have since been resolved. While his Grapefruit League debut has been slightly delayed, he still has more than enough time to get up to speed by Opening Day.
