Daily News | An update on Mickey Moniak and Connor Brogdon, and a minor league pitcher to keep your eye on
Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Thursday his team feels a sense of urgency every day — and a sense of disappointment after every loss — but the Phillies had to be feeling a double dose of those emotions after beingThey’ve been hitting the ball hard, but those balls haven’t been falling for hits. Now, the Phillies face a daunting stretch in which they’ll play the Mets, Mariners, Dodgers, Padres, Dodgers again, Braves, and the Mets again.
Outfielder Mickey Moniak, who was hit in the hand with a pitch in his last spring training at-bat, had an X-ray recently that showed his right hand fracture is healing. It’s not fully healed yet, so Moniak has just been swinging off of a tee, but he’s moving in the right direction. Moniak has two options, so it’s possible the Phillies could send him to triple-A Lehigh Valley and see how he fares there before calling him back up.
“His velocity ticked up a little bit the other day,” Girardi said. “I think as the weather gets a little warmer here, we’re going to see more from him.
