Jimmy Rollins went 2-for-2 with a homer off Phil Hughes and a walk Sunday against the Twins. Rollins also homered Saturday. He has hit in five straight since his benching last week, raising his average from .091 to .211.

Jimmy Rollins said Tuesday that he isn't concerned about trade rumors because the Phillies can't trade him. Rollins' rift with the management in Philly grows by the day. Even if Rollins didn't own 10-and-5 rights, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. probably wouldn't find a suitor. Because he does, as the veteran shortstop points out, everyone should shut up. "I don't care which way it is tried to be twisted or said, or if it is exactly how it was said, or even if it was said, I can't be traded," he said. "It doesn't matter. If I was tradable it may have weight because that means I could be moving soon. But I am not tradable and so it doesn't matter." Rollins, 35, is owed $11 million this season while his contract includes an $11 million vesting option for 2015 if he reaches 434 plate appearances. Freddy Galvis may be in line for more at-bats this season if the Phillies decide to take drastic measures to ensure Rollins' deal expires after this coming season.

ESPN's Buster Olney writes that there's a "strong sentiment" within the Phillies organization right now that the team would be better off trading Jimmy Rollins as soon as possible. It isn't clear whether this has anything to do with Rollins' recent issue with manager Ryne Sandberg or if the organization is simply ready to move on. Of course, Rollins has 10-and-5 rights and can reject any trade, so he is able to control his own destiny. Either way, it's not a good situation. Rollins, 35, is owed $11 million this season while his contract includes an $11 million vesting option for 2015.

Jimmy Rollins reiterated Sunday that he has no plans to waive his no-trade rights anytime soon. Rollins' name has again popped up in trade rumors, this time involving the Tigers in the wake of the Jose Iglesias injury. However, as a 10-and-5 player, he would have to approve any deal. The shortstop is 60 hits shy of overtaking Mike Schmidt as the Phillies' all-time leader, something that's important to him. "There's only 30 guys that are their team's leader in hits," Rollins said. "It's a pretty high honor." Rollins is owed $11 million this season and will have his $11 million option for next year vest if he reaches 434 plate appearances.

Jimmy Rollins went 0-for-4 in his return to the Phillies' lineup on Friday. Rollins was back batting second after his odd three-game spring benching. He's 2-for-19 this spring.

Jimmy Rollins is on the Phillies' travel list for Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. Rollins has been benched for three straight games and when asked Wednesday to explain the absences Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg offered a "no comment." The thought is that Sandberg is trying to send an early message to the veteran shortstop, who has been criticized in the past for a perceived lack of hustle. Lovely way to kick off the 2014 season.

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.

Jimmy Rollins was not in Wednesday's Grapefruit League lineup for the third consecutive day. He was absent from camp Monday with flu-like symptoms, but told the media he was fine on Wednesday. The Phillies may just be trying to limit the workload of their veteran shortstop.

Jimmy Rollins was scratched from Tuesday's Grapefruit League lineup. Rollins was absent from camp Monday with flu-like symptoms, so he's apparently still on the mend. Freddy Galvis will fill in at shortstop.

Jimmy Rollins had a three-run homer and two walks as the Phillies topped a Tigers split-squad 10-6 on Friday. Rollins' homer came off Jose Valdez. All indications are that the Phillies are going to use Rollins out of the two hole, even though he's finished with OBPs of .316 and .318 the last two years. He's topped .320 once in five years (.338 in 2011). Of course, it'll work out fine if Rollins continues to homer and walk twice each game.
