The Philadelphia Phillies placed second baseman Cesar Hernandez (oblique) on the 10-day DL Sunday nad expect him to miss six weeks.
Herandez suffered an oblique strain on Friday and sat out the next two games before being placed on the DL. The Phillies hoped he would be back after a minimum stay but on Tuesday revealed the second baseman would be sidelined until at least the All-Star Break. Howie Kendrick will play at second base opening up a spot in the outfield for Daniel Nava and Michael Saunders.
Hernandez was a bright spot for the Phillies, slashing .277/.336/.399 with a .321 wOBA and 40 runs scored in 259 plate appearances this season.
