Before Sunday’s game, the Phillies placed outfielder Roman Quinn on the 60-day injured list with a left Achilles injury. To replace Quinn on the roster, the team selected outfielder Travis Jankowski’s contract from Triple-A.
In Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Quinn suffered a devastating injury while rounding third base in the fifth inning. He tripped around third, limped his way to the plate to score the game-tying run and collapsed at home plate. Manager Joe Girardi and assistant athletic trainer Shawn Fcasni carried the injured Quinn off the field.
“He’s been playing well for us,” Girardi said.
