Kevin Frandsen hit a two-out, bases-loaded pinch-hit double to give the Phillies a 4-3 win over the Royals on Saturday.

Frandsen is a bench player for the Phils but came up big on Saturday. The 30-year-old only had four at-bats as a pinch hitter last season. With two pinch hits already this year, he's quickly growing comfortable in the role.

Kevin Frandsen said that he's dealing with some soreness in his left wrist, but that he should be OK.

Frandsen was forced to exit Wednesday's game after he was hit by a Justin Verlander fastball, but it sounds like the Phillies pulled him for precautionary reasons. He has the stitchings from the ball imprinted on his wrist, so at least he has a nice souvenir. The 30-year-old is expected to open the season on the Phillies' bench.

Kevin Frandsen tripled, doubled, walked and scored four times as a Phillies split-squad trounced the Blue Jays 13-5 on Sunday.

The Phillies opted to keep Frandsen on the 40-man roster all winter, suggesting that he's assured of a bench spot behind Chase Utley and Michael Young. He probably won't have any fantasy value unless one of those two gets hurt.
