Rollins (hamstring) is unlikely to return during the Phillies' current homestand ending Sunday, but manager Ryne Sandberg expects the shortstop back sooner rather than later, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Rollins underwent tests on his hamstring Tuesday, which revealed a mild strain. The veteran has been quite durable over the course of his career, but given how much time he's already missed, he looks on track to play his lowest total of games for a season since 2011. Freddy Galvis looks poised to assume the bulk of the shortstop duties until Rollins is cleared to return.
