Email this postThe Phillies placed rightfielder Geoff Jenkins on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hip flexor. To take his place on the 25-man roster, the Phillies purchased the contract of infielder Andy Tracy from triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Jenkins was hitting .246 with nine homers and 29 RBIs in 284 at-bats.
Tracy, who hits lefthanded, was hitting .288 with 21 home runs and 84 RBIs for the IronPigs. He hit .224 with 13 homers and 41 RBIs in 263 at-bats in parts of three seasons with the Montreal Expos and Colorado Rockies. He hasn't been in the majors since the end of the 2004 season with the Rockies.
Is this a bad thing?

Never wish for someone to be hurt, but Jenkins is a spare. Yet another terrible free agent acquisition by Philly mgmt.
Another great offensive game today! And again....Small ball getting it done. Could this team actually have turned a corner?! YAY!!!
Look people, Jenkins didnt play great this year, but give the guy a break. He could come back next year and really smash the ball...who knows. Well good game today, maybe that play out in center will help turn things around for the Phils! GO PHILS!!!!
Great game today! I was thrilled to see Utley, Howard & Burrell's offense come alive. Burrell with his personal best of 5 RBIs in a game. Glad to see Cole H. getting some run support finally. Also Utley & Howard having two good games in a row! PLEASE,PLEASE let this be the offense finally coming out of hibernation. Even though he wasn't having a great yr., not good news about Jenkins going on the DL. Ironic too since he hits well against the Dodgers and had a hit right before his injury.
Norma, Jimmymack & others going to the game tomorrow representing the Zo Zone---may the good karma of the last couple of games be with you!!
This replacing Aaron Rowand with Geoff Jenkins joke sure does remind you of Lenny Dykstra for Ricky Otero, huh?
If Gillick had to chose between re-signing Rowand or trading for Lidge, Gillick made the correct decision. Lidge has been the team's MVP this season.
Comment removed.
Werth is playing better and more often. I am interested to see how Tracy can do in a possible pinch hitting role in case they decide to play dobbs all the time at third base.
They are going to ease Feliz back into third. Dobbs will not play all the time.
Guys,Dobbs is the number one off the bench. Feliz is our third baseban and a great one. Management made teh right choice and got a 3B who plays Defence. the fab 4 (rollins, Chase, Howard, Pat) supply the offene. The deal was Lidge instead of Rowland and was another great move. THe only off season move not working out is Junkins and as someone said, there's always next year. We still need a catcher and a set up guy during off season though. Grest win, keep it going. Sweep the Dodgers would be sweet revenge for last week
This is not a bad thing. All due respect to Jenkins, his contribution to the offense this season has been a little better than taguchi. Getting more at bats for Werth can only be positive for a lineup that needs more production.
Tracy is a super LH option off the bench.
In the IL he was an RBI machine.
Bad break for Jenkins, seems like a good guy whose career had been solid with the Brews. Maybe he will be able to get it going in '09.
Hard to classify Feliz as a 'great one.'
