They announced Saturday morning Carlos Ruiz, who is the team's MVP if the
season ended today, has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with plantar
fasciitis in his left foot.
A MRI revealed a partial tear in the foot. He is expected to miss
four to six weeks.
The Phillies recalled Hector Luna to take Ruiz's spot on the roster. Brian
Schneider and Erik Kratz will handle the team's catching duties into
September.
Ruiz was having the best season of his career. He was hitting .335 with 28
doubles, 14 home runs, 58 RBIs, a .399 on-base percentage, a .559 slugging
percentage and a .959 OPS. He already set career-highs in home runs and RBIs.
He ranked fourth in the National League in batting average, sixth in on-base
percentage, sixth in slugging percentage and sixth in OPS.
Unfortunately for Ruiz, he will not finish the season with enough plate
appearances to qualify among the league leaders in those categories.
Ruiz will be reevaluated in two weeks. The foot has been bothering him for at
least a couple weeks, but he thought he could manage it.
