PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Phillies placed outfielder Geoff Jenkins on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained right hip flexor and purchased infielder Andy Tracy’s contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Jenkins injured his hip while beating out an infield single in the third inning Friday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The 34-year-old Jenkins is hitting .246 with nine homers and 29 RBIs in 108 games. He was signed by Philadelphia as a free agent in the offseason and has spent the year platooning with Jayson Werth in right field.
Tracy, also 34, was batting .288 with 21 homers and 84 RBIs in 120 games with the IronPigs.
