The Phillies placed Hays on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a kidney infection, retroactive to Sept. 2.

EDGE Analysis

While Hays' infection helps explain why he's sat out both of the Phillies' last two games, it remains unknown if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay on the IL. Cal Stevenson will come up from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster, though Johan Rojas figures to receive the largest increase in playing time while Hays is out.
