Daily News | Phillies’ Corey Knebel moved to COVID-related IL after experiencing flu-like symptoms
Brad Hand came through for the Phillies in a big way on Monday night. The left-handed reliever entered a tenuous situation in the ninth inning, attempting to hold a 5-4 lead that his team’s sluggers had racked up an inning earlier. Hand, to his credit, did just that, striking out Dom Smith, inducing a flyout from James McCann and closing it out with a strikeout of Brandon Nimmo.
On Tuesday, he was placed on the COVID-related IL. Knebel took an initial COVID test that was positive, but took a second test last night that the team is waiting for results on. If it’s negative, he could be back as soon as Wednesday for the Phillies’ 1:05 p.m. game against the Mets. As a corresponding 40-man roster move, the Phillies selected the contract of left-handed reliever Jeff Singer from triple-A Lehigh Valley. Singer was born in Philadelphia and“We think that he’ll handle the situation,” Girardi said of Singer. “He’s been in spring training with us a number of times. He can give us multiple innings if we need it, and he’s had a couple of days off.”Girardi applauded infielder Alec Bohm on Tuesday for his postgame comments following the game on Monday.
