Kendrick (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick wound up missed 17 straight games due to the mild hamstring strain, but is set to return after participating in a rehab appearance with Double-A Reading on Thursday. Although Kendrick has missed over two months time on the DL this season (an oblique injury sidelined him in May), the 34-year-old has played at a high level when he's been on the field, hitting .349 with two home runs and 14 RBI in 33 games. In a corresponding move, the Phillies optioned Brock Stassi to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Kendrick (hamstring) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Thursday, Stephen Gross of The Allentown Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old is inching closer to the end of his second DL stint of the season -- he missed six weeks earlier in the year with an oblique injury. He went on a tear after his return in late May, going 31-for-87 with two homers and seven steals, and if he produces anywhere close to that level over the rest of July, the Phillies should find themselves with several options at the trade deadline.

Kendrick (hamstring) has been cleared to begin baseball activities, Patrick Pinak of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick, who has been on the disabled list since June 30 with a left hamstring injury, took batting practice and did some outfield work Monday. He will likely start a rehab assignment sometime this week.

Kendrick (hamstring) will join the Phillies on Monday to be examined by team athletic trainers and could be cleared to start a rehab assignment at that time, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies had hoped to activate Kendrick during their current road trip, but his hamstring injury has not healed as fast as expected. Assuming Kendrick starts his rehab early next week, he could come off the disabled list on Friday when the Phillies return home to face the Brewers.

GM Matt Klentak said Kendrick (hamstring) should begin a rehab assignment sometime near the end of the All-Star break, Jake Lourim and Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer report.

EDGE Analysis

Klentak also said Kendrick should come off the disabled list sometime during the Phillies' road trip from July 14 to 19. He has been sidelined since June 28 with a mild left hamstring strain. The Phillies are expected to move him in a trade this month as they continue their rebuilding process.

An MRI exam confirmed Kendrick is dealing with a mild left hamstring strain, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick is eligible to come of the disabled list Saturday, but the Phillies are likely to delay his activation until after the All-Star break. The veteran is likely to be traded to another club before the July 31 trade deadline.

Kendrick (hamstring) took batting practice and fielded some grounders Monday, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick did not run and also did not speak with reporters. He underwent an MRI on Monday, but the Phillies have not yet provided an update on the results of the exam. It seems unlikely that Kendrick will be able to return from the disabled list before the All-Star break.

Kendrick is scheduled to have a MRI exam Monday on his strained left hamstring, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick was placed on the disabled list last week. He is eligible to return to action during the Phillies' last series before the All-Star break, but it is unclear if he will be ready by then. A timetable for Kendrick's return should be provided shortly after the Phils get the results of the MRI. Andres Blanco and Ty Kelly will fill in at second until Kendrick returns.

Kendrick (hamstring) was officially put on the disabled list Friday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kendrick hits the 10-day DL retroactive to June 28 with a left hamstring strain that was initially announced prior to the Phillies' game last Friday. The veteran had been fighting through it, but will finally head to the shelf while top-five prospect Nick Williams makes his first trip up to the big leagues. Kendrick is eligible to return two days (June 8) before the All-Star Break begins, but could take it easy and return following the festivities. In his absence, Freddy Galvis will likely log most of the time at the keystone while Williams and Daniel Nava earn starts in left.

Kendrick (hamstring) will be placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The impending callup of top prospect Nick Williams placed the writing on the wall. Whenever he returns, Kendrick may need to fight to regain something close to an everyday job if Williams performs well, though he can slot in at second base and outfield if needed.
