With five games to go before the postseason begins, Jimmy Rollins makes his return to the Phillies starting lineup tonight against the Nationals. Rollins has spent nearly the entire month of September rehabbing a hamstring strain.
Rollins was actually cleared to play last night, but was held out due to the wet conditions at Nationals Park.
Despite the fact that the Phillies have went 21-5 this month without him, having a experienced vet like Rollins that’s proven he’s clutch in the postseason is important.
