The Philadelphia Phillies moved outfielder Austin Hays to the 10-day injured list on Thursday due to a kidney infection.
The move is retroactive to Monday.
The Phillies acquired Hays from the Baltimore Orioles in late July prior to the MLB trade deadline. This marks his second IL stint since then, as he missed two weeks in August with a hamstring strain.
Hays, 29, is hitting .254 in 19 games since joining Philadelphia, recording one home run, five doubles and five RBIs. Across 82 games with the Orioles and Phillies this year, he is averaging .254 with four homers, 18 doubles and 19 RBIs.
A 2023 All-Star selection, Hays is a lifetime .261 hitter with 67 homers and 247 RBIs in 576 games for Baltimore (2017, 2019-24) and Philadelphia.
The Phillies recalled outfielder Cal Stevenson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding 28-man roster move. Stevenson previously played seven games for the Phillies this season, going 2-for-10 with an RBI in August.
Philadelphia opens a four-game road series against the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
