Phillies designated OF Matt Joyce for assignment.

Philadelphia recalled right-hander Hans Crouse on Sunday to make his major league debut and Joyce was the odd man out with roster Tetris. The veteran outfielder missed a good chunk of the year with a back injury and was just 5-for-44 (.091) with two home runs this season.

Phillies transferred OF Matt Joyce to the 60-day injured list.

Nothing has changed in the recovery timeline for Joyce, who is still attempting to work his way back from a lower back strain. This was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster.

Matt Joyce homered on Saturday afternoon in the Phillies’ loss to the Rays.

Joyce came off the bench after Roman Quinn sustained an Achilles injury early in the contest and wound up snapping an 0-for-28 steak with a game-tying solo shot to right field off lefty Jeffrey Springs in the seventh inning.

Phillies activated OF Matt Joyce from the 10-day injured list.

The 36-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since the first week of May due to a calf injury. He’s taking the roster spot of the injured J.T. Realmuto who was officially placed on the injured list on Friday. Joyce has struggled in his limited action this season, hitting just .100/.289/.133 with a 6/7 K/BB ratio in 38 plate appearances.

Phillies placed OF Matt Joyce on the 10-day injured list with a calf injury.

Joyce presumably suffered the injury after coming off the bench on Tuesday night against the Brewers. Or perhaps it’s been a lingering thing. He leaves behind a rough .100/.289/.133 batting line.

Bryce Harper (face) remained out of the Phillies’ lineup Friday.

Harper is presumably (and understandably) still sore after being hit in the face by a 97-mph fastball on Wednesday, so he’ll sit out a second straight game. At last check, he had not displayed any concussion symptoms. Matt Joyce is in right field Friday.
