Phillies -
Placido Polanco is not expected to have surgery for a sports hernia, according to GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. These types of injuries don't seem to go away. So, it will be interesting to see how effective Polanco is for the remainder of the season and if he can hold up.
Cole Hamels will miss his next start start due to a slightly strained shoulder. Hopefully this is not serious, as the team needs him fully healthy if it hopes to win the World Series.
