Roman Quinn was his usual very upbeat and positive self after the Philadelphia Phillies narrow victory over the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday.
You couldn’t help but crack a smile when he called himself “a savage” for getting hit on the right hand while trying to bunt, staying in the game, singling and ultimately advancing two bases with a hand that required nine stitches after his departure shortly thereafter.
But there was a dark cloud that hung over Quinn’s postgame meeting with the media Tuesday: another looming stint on the injured list. Indeed, the Phillies placed the oft-injured 27-year-old on the IL Wednesday along with Matt Joyce, recalling Scott Kingery and Mickey Moniak.
