Jimmy Rollins is not in Thursday's lineup for the fourth consecutive day.
It will be the third straight day a healthy Rollins will be absent from the lineup. That in itself wouldn't be terribly concerning -- Rollins dealt with flu-like symptoms early in the week -- but Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Rollins is "fine." Most damningly, Sandberg praised Freddy Galvis, who has started in place of Rollins at shortstop in recent days, after Wednesday's game and, when asked about Rollins, he replied, "No comment." The 35-year-old has been an unquestioned starter for most of his major league career, but those days may soon be coming to an end.
