Ouch. Bailey on the 7-day injured list (caught a foul tip on the mask).  Sabol called up.  The story I read said that Sabol the only other catcher on the 40-man roster. Really?

Plus Murphy, of course.

And now Murphy is hurt.  Jackson Reetz anyone?

On the good side, Reetz has a .500 career MLB batting average. On the not-so-good side, Reetz is 28 years old and has a AAA slash line of .234/.328/.478/.806 and about the same at AA. He runs into one every now and then, 29 home runs in 500 ABs at the AAA level, about the same at AA. He struck out 152 times in 500 ABs at AAA, slightly worse in AA actually. So...I'm guessing a stat line of 4 ABs, 3 Ks, maybe a HBP (he gets hit a lot).

The Jackson Reetz era is upon us. Hope he enjoys his cup of coffee...he's thrown out 30% of baserunners, not a terrible fielder.

“Reetz has a .500 career MLB batting average.”

You have a good sense of humor.

After Blake Sabol went 0 for 2 with two strikeouts, Jakson Reetz hit a home run in his only at bat in the top of the ninth.

Reetz's major league batting average is now .667. His career line is now .667/.667/2.000/2667. His OPS+ is 613 (100 is MLB average). He actually has a positive career WAR, 0.2.

Maybe trot him out there again, especially after the Phillies stole four bases in four attempts against Sabol. Appeals to my sense of humor.  ;)

Seriously, I don't think he'll be a hitting revelation. He was only hitting .217 in Phoenix. But six of his ten hits were for extra bases...
