On Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies’ Shane Victorino injured a thumb while trying to make a play in the field. Today, as earlier reported here at Baseball Nation, the Phillies placed Victorino on the 15-day disabled list. Infielder Pete Orr was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Victorino’s spot on the Philadelphia roster. The move is retroactive to July 4.
All-Star Game 2011: Dodgers’ Andre Ethier In, Phillies’ Shane Victorino Out
Victorino just won the Final Vote fan ballot and was added to the National League All-Star roster yesterday.
The Dodgers’ Andre Ethier, who finished second to Victorino in the Final Vote balloting, will take Victorino’s place on the NL All-Star roster. Ethier is having a fine season, hitting .313/.382/.451 with seven HR and 42 RBI, and earlier this year had a 30-game hitting streak, a MLB record for the month of April and the second-longest hitting streak in Dodgers franchise history, just one short of Willie Davis’ record set in 1969.
