Bruce is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce returned from the 10-day injured list Friday and filled a starting role in the Phillies' last two games, going 1-for-7 with a double and a walk. Though he'll take a seat Sunday, Bruce should have a regular spot in the lineup waiting for him against right-handers during the final week of the season.

Bruce (quadriceps) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old aggravated his quadriceps injury Sept. 6 and has since been on the injured list, but he'll rejoin the roster for Friday's doubleheader. Bruce isn't in the lineup for the matinee but could return to the starting nine in Game 2.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday that Bruce (quadriceps) is still a couple days away from a return from the 10-day injured list, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kyle Garlick (oblique) and starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (hamstring) joining a growing list of banged-up Phillies on Tuesday, Bruce's impending return is a rare bit of positive injury news for the team. If Bruce gains clearance to play at some point during the Phillies' weekend series with the Blue Jays, he should immediately step back into a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter. He could also be in the mix for work at first base with Rhys Hoskins (elbow) in danger of missing the remainder of the season.

Bruce was placed on the injured list with a quadriceps injury Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce exited Saturday's contest after aggravating his quad injury and finds himself back on the injured list. With Roman Quinn also sidelined (concussion), Kyle Garlick and Phil Gosselin could get some extra run in the outfield.

Bruce (quadriceps) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce is reportedly a candidate to hit the injured list after aggravating a quad injury that cost him several games in late August. While that move has yet to be official, he remains out of the lineup. Neil Walker takes over designated hitter duties and is batting eighth.

Bruce aggravated his quad injury in Saturday's game against the Mets and is likely headed back to the injured list, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce missed 10 days in late August with a quad injury, and it looks like he is going to miss at least that much time again for the same reason.

Bruce went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday as he helped the Phillies to a 3-0 win over the Nationals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce launched his second homer in three games as he has shown some solid power since returning from the 10-day injured list Monday. The 33-year-old has six long balls and 13 RBI and should continue to see the majority of his playing time as the team's designated hitter.

Bruce isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce homered Monday in his first game back from the 10-day injured list, but he'll get a breather for the second game of the series. Andrew McCutchen will rest his legs as the designated hitter with Phil Gosselin starting in left field.

Bruce went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored in Monday's 8-6 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce was activated ahead of Monday's contest and homered in his first at-bat in his return. The 33-year-old has five long balls and a .931 OPS this season.

Bruce (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He will likely be in the lineup Monday against righty Erick Fedde. Bruce should resume his designated hitter duties, potentially getting spelled against southpaws. He hit .231/.273/.596 with four home runs in 16 games prior to landing on the IL.
