Phillies place All-Star Jay Bruce on IL, per reports

The Philadelphia Phillies are going to be down another outfielder for at least the next 10 days.

According to multiple media reports, Philadelphia has placed three-time All-Star Jay Bruce on the injured list with a right oblique strain.

This could not come at a worst time for the struggling Phillies. Bruce, 32, has hit 10 homers and 29 RBI in a mere 33 games since being acquired from the Seattle Mariners earlier in the season.

His acquisition came immediately before Opening Day starter Andrew McCutchen suffered a season-ending torn ACL.

Philadelphia enters Wednesday’s action with a 49-46 record and in third place in the NL East. It has lost seven of 11.
