Rollins Placed On 15-Day DL
As the old saying goes, there's a first time for everything; that holds especially true for Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins as according to the Associated Press, Rollins was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle; it was originally hurt nearly two weeks ago when he was running the bases against the New York Mets on May 8. As a result, Eric Bruntlett has started at shortstop for the 11th consecutive game, batting only .179 with a home run and an RBI. Other than Tomas Perez back in 2000, Bruntlett is the first Phillies SS besides Rollins to start 10 games at the position. Prior to the injury, Rollins was batting .308 with 2 doubles, 2 HRs, 6 RBIs and 2 stolen bases.
