Bruce was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a quadriceps injury, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce has seen inconsistent playing time recently with a lingering quad issue, and the team hopes that a trip to the injured list will help his health over the rest of the season. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days sidelined. Adam Haseley (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Bruce is out of the lineup Friday against the Braves, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce returned from a two-game absence to start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader, and he went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. He returns to the bench with lefty Max Fried starting for Atlanta. Phil Gosselin will bat fifth as the designated hitter Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Bruce has been cleared to rejoin the lineup for the second half of Thursday's twin bill after missing a pair of games with a leg injury. The veteran slugger, who is hitting .245 with four home runs and 11 RBI through 15 games this season, will face Trent Thornton in his first game back.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies expect Bruce to make his return to the lineup Thursday, but manager Joe Girardi may be waiting until the second game of the twin bill to insert the veteran slugger back in the starting nine. Andrew McCutchen serves as the Phillies' designated hitter in the first game.

Bruce (leg) will likely start Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

An apparent leg issue kept Bruce out of the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox, but it was a natural game for him to sit out with southpaw Kyle Hart on the mound for Boston. However, manager Joe Girardi said after the loss that Bruce is likely to return to the lineup for the series opener against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Bruce is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boston is bringing a southpaw starter (Kyle Hart) to the hill for the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Bruce will take a seat while Andrew McCutchen fills in for him as the Phillies' designated hitter. Bruce came up big during Tuesday's 13-6 win, going 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI.

Bruce (quad) went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an RBI single in Tuesday's 13-6 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce didn't miss a game with the quad injury, and he didn't seem too bothered by during Tuesday's outing. In the fourth inning, his RBI single got the Phillies on the board. He then rounded out their explosive night with a three-run blast in the eighth off Red Sox reliever Marcus Walden. Bruce is slashing .245/.288/.633 with four homers, 11 RBI and six runs scored through 15 games this season.

Bruce (quad) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce left Sunday's contest with a left quadriceps injury, but he's not slated to miss any additional time. The 33-year-old will need to pass some tests during batting practice prior to Tuesday's contest, but he should be available going forward if all goes smoothly.

Bruce left Sunday's game against the Mets with a left quadriceps injury, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact nature of the issue won't become clear until further tests. The veteran slugger will get at least one day to rest regardless of the seriousness of the injury, with the Phillies next taking the field Tuesday in Boston. If he's forced to miss time, at-bats could open up for bench players such as Phil Gosselin, Neil Walker or Kyle Garlick in the designated hitter spot.

Bruce isn't starting Saturday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Steven Matz on the mound for the Mets on Saturday, Bruce will retreat to the bench. Phil Gosselin will serve as the designated hitter, batting seventh.
