Manager Joe Girardi said Gregorius might undergo medical imaging on his ribs after being hit by a pitch Wednesday against the Cardinals, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old remained in the contest after being plunked during the sixth inning, but he's apparently battling some soreness after the game. It's a quick turnaround Thursday afternoon for the series finale with the Cardinals, so Gregorius could receive the day off even if he checks out fine.

Manager Joe Girardi said he believes Gregorius (elbow) will be ready to return to the lineup Friday against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies placed second baseman Jean Segura (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list earlier this week, but Gregorius is expected to avoid a similar fate. Gregorius will be re-evaluated following Thursday's off day, and if he checks out fine, he should return from a three-game absence for Friday's game in Colorado. Philadelphia is expected to rely on Nick Maton and Brad Miller to pick up most of the work at second base while Segura is on the mend.

Gregorius' absence from the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants is due to swelling in his right elbow, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The injury doesn't sound like a particularly serious one, with manager Joe Girardi saying simply, "He needed a day." Nick Maton starts at shortstop in his absence, but Gregorius appears to have a chance to return as soon as Tuesday.

Gregorius is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies placed three players on the COVID-19 injured list Monday, but Gregorius isn't one of them, so he appears to be getting simply a routine day off. Nick Maton will make his major-league debut in his place at shortstop.

Gregorius went 3-for-7 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday as the Phillies were swept in a doubleheader against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies only managed 12 hits in total across both ends of the twin bill and got shut out in the nightcap, but Gregorius' bat wasn't one of the quiet ones. The shortstop had had a strong start to the season, collecting a hit in all 11 games and going 13-for-41 (.317) with two homers, nine RBI and a steal, but he's only scored two runs while hitting consistently in the bottom half of the order.

Gregorius went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius capped off a four-run fourth inning with a three-run homer to right to give his team a 5-3 lead. The 31-year-old drove in his fourth run of the night in the ninth on a controversial sac fly in which Alec Bohm was called safe at home despite the replay review showing that he missed home plate on his slide attempt. Regardless, it was a big night for Gregorius who now has six RBI in his last two games and has recorded a hit in all nine games to begin the year.
