The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated infielder Kody Clemens (back) from the 10-day injured list and also recalled outfielder Johan Rojas from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday with both first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) and outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) going on the 10-day IL. Clemens will make the start at first base and bat sixth, while Rojas is in center field and hitting ninth for the Phillies on Friday versus the visiting Miami Marlins and right-hander Kyle Tyler, who is making just his second major-league start. Clemens, who is returning from a bout with back spasms, should start regularly for the Phils at first against right-handed pitchers for however long Harper is out, driving up his value in NL-only leagues. Rojas should also see more action with Schwarber on the IL after going 13-for-34 with Lehigh Valley after his demotion.
The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Brandon Marsh (hamstring) and infielder Kody Clemens (back) on the 10-day injured list on Monday and recalled outfielders Weston Wilson and David Dahl from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in corresponding moves. Marsh strained his right hamstring in Sunday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals and was removed in the eighth inning. Clemens was scratched from Sunday's lineup with back spasms and was replaced in the lineup by utility man Whit Merrifield. Both players will now miss at least the next 10 days of action as they heal up. Dahl is starting in left field and will bat seventh on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Both he and Merrifield will battle for playing time in Philly's outfield with Marsh out.UPDATE: Marsh and Clemens have "very mild" injuries, according to manager Rob Thomson.
