De Fratus Health Update

Just a quick update on right-handed reliever Justin De Fratus, who is on the 60-day disabled list, out of action for the Phillies with elbow troubles...

De Fratus confirmed this week that he is taking his recovery quite slowly. The 24-year-old has been out of action all season with a strained flexor tendon.

The native of Oxnard, CA stated that he feels as though he's getting stronger every day. De Fratus had previously gotten close to a return to regular action when he appeared in an extended spring training game and followed that up with a scoreless inning of work for the Class A Advanced Clearwater Threshers on April 22nd. However, the 6-foot-5-inch 220-pounder experienced considerable discomfort after that outing and was forced to discontinue throwing.

Currently, De Fratus is on a throwing program on flat ground. He does not have a time frame for when he would begin throwing from a mound or facing hitters.

All I Want For "the Holidays" is the MLB Network

Ladies and gentlemen, there are 5 days left till Hannukah, 9 days left till Christmas and 16 days left till the premiere of the MLB Network. It's about time. Those of you that enjoy MLB.com's original programming, it may be a while till your favorite hosts appear on The MLB Network. The announced TV schedule is not similar to MLB.com's online schedule. MLB.com's studios are in NYC, and the MLB Network's studios will be in Secaucus NJ...so that's another bump in the road. Cross overs, while possible, might be less likely. The great internet programming on MLB.com includes morning and afternoon talk shows, a midday fantasy advice call-in show, a lunch time talk show and variety half hour formatted show, and of course the nightly wrap up, as well as other original programming that focuses more on the history of the game. MLB.com's programming started as streaming radio shows, then upgraded to a visual medium when video feeds were provided for the same sho...

Hypocrites!

Seriously? Because David Ortiz was on the list ? Need I remind you all...? This guy was also on the list. Very smooth, Yankees fans. ------------------------- Follow PhoulBallz.com on Twitter HERE !
