DIDI GREGORIUS NEWS

Lands on COVID-19 injured list Gregorius (ribs) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Impact Gregorius was hit in the ribs by a pitch Wednesday against the Cardinals and didn't play in Thursday's contest, but he'll head to the injured list for an entirely separate reason. It's unclear if he tested positive for the virus himself or is out due to contact tracing. Nick Maton will continue as the starting shortstop in his absence, with catcher Rafael Marchan called up to take his place on the roster.

Returns to lineup Gregorius (elbow) will bat fifth and play shortstop Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Gregorius missed three games this week due to an elbow issue, but he was able to avoid a trip to the injured list. He'll return to action at the league's most hitter-friendly park, pushing Nick Maton back to the bench.

Expected back Friday Manager Joe Girardi said he believes Gregorius (elbow) will be ready to return to the lineup Friday against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Phillies placed second baseman Jean Segura (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list earlier this week, but Gregorius is expected to avoid a similar fate. Gregorius will be re-evaluated following Thursday's off day, and if he checks out fine, he should return from a three-game absence for Friday's game in Colorado. Philadelphia is expected to rely on Nick Maton and Brad Miller to pick up most of the work at second base while Segura is on the mend.
