Placido Polanco has cortisone shot for injured wrist

BALTIMORE — Placido Polanco has a small tendon tear in his left wrist, which required a cortisone injection Friday morning in Philadelphia. He will miss at least this weekend's games and possibly more, but the Phillies do not view him as a candidate for the disabled list.

"I have to give that some time to work," Polanco said.

Polanco injured his wrist Tuesday when he was spiked by Dodgers catcher Matt Treanor during a play at third. He also required stitches to close a cut on his left index finger.

Proefrock termed Polanco as "day to day" while Manuel said he could miss at least five days with the injuries.

"There's no procedure involved," Proefrock said. "It's something that will take a couple of days to feel better."

The Phillies did not provide an update on Freddy Galvis, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday with a back injury. Galvis underwent a battery of tests with multiple doctors Friday and the team expects to have results later in the night.
