Ruiz Strains Oblique

During today's game against Colorado, Carlos Ruiz left the game because he suffered a right oblique strain after catching a high pop in foul territory

The Phillies will know more about the injury on Saturday, but as of now Ruiz is said to be day to day. However, Lou Marson was scratched from the IronPigs lineup fifteen minutes before their game, indicating the Phillies are concerned about Ruiz’s injury and do not want Marson to suffer an injury in case he needs to be called up.

UPDATE Friday, 9:30 PM: Marson is flying to Denver tonight just in case Ruiz is placed on the Disabled List tomorrow. Ruiz could miss up to two weeks.

UPDATE Saturday, 5:00 PM: Ruiz has been placed on the 15 Day Disabled List. Marson is with the team.

I BELIEVE MARSON WAS SCRATCHED SO HE COULD FLY TO DENVER, NOT TO AVOID INJURY.

Yup. that's why I updated it. Originally, I didn't know they would fly him out.

Thanks for the correction.
