Seranthony suffers setback

If you were hoping that Seranthony Dominguez was going to be the Phillies’ primary setup man in 2020, the news out of camp on Wednesday was not pleasant. (Although I’m not sure this news was especially welcome even if you weren’t counting on him.)

Dominguez - who burst onto the scene as a dominating reliever in 2018 - missed most of the 2019 season with a strained ulnar collateral ligament. Many feared that he was headed for Tommy John surgery, but doctors recommended rest and rehab instead. Until this week, it looked like that approach was successful.
