Tue May 25 202118:33Blue Jays' Phelps to miss rest of season after lat surgery
NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto pitcher David Phelps will miss the rest of the season following surgery to repair the latissimus dorsi muscle on the right side of his back. The 34-year-old right-hander had the procedure Monday with Dr. Anthony Romeo in Chicago, the Blue Jays said before their series opener at the New York Yankees. Phelps last pitched May 2 against Atlanta. Three days later at Oakland, he relieved to start the bottom of the eighth with the Blue Jays leading 7-3, felt uncomfortable while warming up and was replaced by Tyler Chatwood. Toronto said at the time that Phelps had discomfort in his pitching shoulder and later sent him for an MRI. “He was awesome for the bullpen. he was awesome for the young guys and we're going to miss him a lot," manager Charlie Montoyo said. “”He was probably one of our best relievers, and what he did in the clubhouse was awesome, too." Phelps is 34-38 with a 3.90 ERA and six saves in nine major league seasons with the New York Yankees (2012-14), Miami (2015-17), Seattle (2017), Toronto (2019, '21), the Chicago Cubs (2019), Milwaukee (2020) and Philadelphia (2020). He returned to the Blue Jays this year for a $1.75 million, one-year contract. Phelps missed the 2018 season after getting hurt during spring training and having Tommy John surgery. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Fri Oct 30 202021:52Lester, Kluber, Hand boost free agent total to 175
NEW YORK (AP) — Jon Lester, Corey Kluber and Brad Hand were among 15 more major leaguers who became free agents Friday when teams declined their 2021 options, many the victims of budget cuts following a regular season without fans due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Also cut loose were Milwaukee infielders Jedd Gyorko and Eric Sogard, Chicago White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnación and left-hander Gio González, and Philadelphia relievers David Robertson, Héctor Neris and David Phelps. AL champion Tampa Bay declined 2021 options on right-hander Charlie Morton and catcher Mike Zunino but say it remains hopeful of re-signing them. There are 175 players who became free agents following the World Series and about 15 more can go free this weekend. Among the remaining decisions are on player options by Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, Boston designated hitter JD Martinez, Cincinnati outfielder Nick Castellanos and Mets reliever Dellin Betances.

Mon Sep 28 202014:18Another September collapse could spur changes for Phillies
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A third straight September collapse left the Philadelphia Phillies out of the postseason for the ninth straight season. Major changes could be coming. President Andy MacPhail and general manager Matt Klentak are clearly on the hot seat after failing to produce a winning record in any of their five seasons together. Manager Joe Girardi isn’t going anywhere after one season, but Phillies managing partner John Middleton is expected to take a hard look at a front office that hasn’t built a winner despite a payroll above $200 million. The Phillies went 1-7 in their final eight games to finish 28-32 in the pandemic-shortened season. Just one more win would’ve given them a wild-card berth. They went 8-20 in September 2018 and 12-16 in September 2019, prompting the club to fire Gabe Kapler as manager after two seasons. “I think we could have just as easily won 38 games, 35 games, I really do,” Girardi said. “I don’t think we were that far from being a 35- to a 38-win total,...
