Phillies Place Four Players On COVID-19 Injured List

4:03pm: These four players were indeed placed on the COVID-19 injured list,
per Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer (via Twitter). That does not
necessarily mean that the players have tested positive for the virus; the
list also houses players that have shown symptoms consistent with infection
or that have had contact with someone else that is infected.
1:54pm: The Phillies appear to have placed four players on the 10-day injured
list. While the team has yet to make a formal announcement, the MLB.com
transactions page indicates that Scott Kingery, Hector Neris, Tommy Hunter
and Ranger Suarez have all been placed on the IL. No reason was listed.
Given the lack of a formal announcement and the lack of specified injuries,
there’s bound to be speculation about COVID-19 among these four players. The
league has already made clear that teams will not be required to name players
who go on the injured list for COVID-19 reasons. In a statement to ESPN’s
Marly Rivera yesterday, MLB offered the following:
Because COVID-19 is not considered an employment-related injury, we will
respect the privacy of the players who test positive or who are under
evaluation, and we will defer to their wishes regarding public updates about
their status. Without their voluntary permission, we will not disclose any
COVID-19 related information.
It should be emphasized that a player does not need to test positive for the
virus to be placed on the IL for COVID-19. Players exhibiting symptoms and
those who have come into contact with people who’ve tested positive can also
be placed on the IL for precautionary reasons. Once on the IL for a positive
COVID-19 test or for symptoms/contact reasons, a player will need to twice
test negative in order to be reinstated.
Additional context may eventually come to light, but for now we know that the
Phillies have several key players sidelined until at least the end of next
week (the IL placements are retroactive to June 30). Kingery is expected to
fill an everyday role in the infield this year, although his superlative
defensive skills would allow skipper Joe Girardi to plug him virtually
anywhere on the diamond while providing solid glovework. Neris entered the
season as the clear closer in Philadelphia, and the veteran Hunter would’ve
filled a setup role. Suarez gave the Phils 48 2/3 frames of 3.14 ERA out of
the bullpen last year and had positioned himself as an important member of
the staff as well.
An extended absence for Kingery could conceivably open the door for top third
base prospect Alec Bohm (with Jean Segura manning second base). Non-roster
veterans like Neil Walker, Logan Forsythe and Josh Harrison are also in the
Phillies’ 60-man player pool. Absent the three arms that were placed on the
IL, an already injury-plagued bullpen would become even more problematic. It’
s not clear who’d step into the ninth inning should Neris be unavailable,
but the trio of Neris, Suarez and Hunter could all play vital late-inning
roles in 2020, health permitting.
