Buster Olney of ESPN writes that the Phillies are "very willing" to trade Jimmy Rollins.
Rollins is owed $11 million in 2014 and carries an $11 million vesting option for the 2015 season. The 35-year-old batted just .252/.318/.348 across 666 plate appearances in 2013. He'll likely be difficult to move.

Jimmy Rollins went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.
And so, the Ryne Sandberg Era began with a whimper. Rollins is hitting just .223 with one home through 23 games since the All-Star break and owns a career-low .648 OPS on the year. His 15 stolen bases have salvaged his value somewhat, but the arrow is definitely pointing down from a fantasy perspective.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Jimmy Rollins has cleared waivers.
He can now be traded anywhere, though Rollins said before the traded deadline that he wouldn't waive his no-trade rights and there's been no indication his stance has changed. The Cardinals expressed interest in the shortstop last month.

Jimmy Rollins indicated Sunday he would not be willing to waive his no-trade clause if asked.
Rollins has ten-and-five rights, so the Phillies would need him to approve any deal. He was never considered a candidate to be traded prior to Wednesday's non-waiver deadline and is under contract through 2014.

Jimmy Rollins led off Saturday's contest against the Mets with a solo homer, but it wasn't enough to lead the Phillies to victory.
Rollins finished the day 2-for-5. His leadoff blast off Zack Wheeler was the 45th leadoff home run in his terrific career. On the season, the veteran shortstop is hitting .259/.319/.353 with five bombs, 31 RBI and nine stolen bases.

Jimmy Rollins finished 0-for-4 in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.
Rollins had hit safely in 16 of 18 games entering the contest. Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel said over the weekend that a bruised foot could be affecting Rollins' stolen base numbers; the veteran has swiped nine bags while getting caught six times. He's on pace for 16 steals after failing to reach 30 just twice in his career. Rollins is hitting .263/.320/.354. We don't view him as a buy-low candidate.

Jimmy Rollins (hip) finished 0-for-3 on Saturday in his return to the Phillies' starting lineup.
Rollins was scratched from Friday's game with a sore hip. He is batting just .262/.325/.379 on the season and probably shouldn't be counted on for much of a turnaround.

Jimmy Rollins is out of the Phillies' lineup on Friday due to a sore hip.
A previous report indicated that Rollins was dealing with a sore foot, but that was apparently incorrect. Either way, consider him day-to-day for now.

Jimmy Rollins is not in Friday's lineup against the Rockies due to a sore foot.
Rollins dealt with a sore right foot earlier this month, though it's not clear whether the two injuries are related. Consider him day-to-day for now. Freddy Galvis is filling in at shortstop.
