Saturday’s simulated game proved beneficial for Ranger Suarez and Austin Hays, who could both potentially be activated next weekend in Kansas City.
Crowd noise and music were being pumped into the quiet Citizens Bank Park early Saturday afternoon — and for good reason.
Suarez has been on the injured list for lower back soreness since July 27. Prior to the stint, he was also dealing with back spasms in a different location.Manager Rob Thomson believes that the break will be good for Suarez coming down the stretch, due to where his innings are currently at."It was great," Thomson said."57 pitches out here and then another 20 in the pen. So we got his pitch count up. 91 was the velocity which is good for a sim game.
Gilbert was acquired by the Phillies on May 7 from triple-A Louisville in the Cincinnati Reds organization. Thomson noted that fatigue had affected Phillips in his last few starts, which played into the decision of sending him down.
