Sidelined Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera hopes to play professional baseball again, as soon as this year

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera has not played in Major League Baseball since May 2019 — suspended 85 games for violating Major League Baseball’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.

Although they considered it, the Phillies opted to not add Herrera onto their 60-man player pool roster for the 2020 season — instead going with Adam Haseley and Roman Quinn.
