You never like to see a player who was doing well suffer an injury and end up on the disabled list. But that’s what happened with left fielder Howie Kendrick this week when he landed on the 10-day DL with an oblique strain that could keep him out for a bit longer than that.
Kendrick had MRI, diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain. Could still come off DL when eligible Tues but wouldn't be surprise if out longer

Kendrick has gotten off to a hot start hitting in the 2-hole for the Phillies.
