Neshek's $7 million club option for 2020 was declined by the Phillies on Thursday, making him a free agent, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old was plagued by shoulder and hamstring injuries in 2019, which may have helped contribute to a 5.00 ERA over 20 appearances. It's unclear whether a team will take a chance on the right-hander after he only managed to log 42.1 innings over the past two seasons due to injuries.

Neshek underwent hamstring surgery Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries have limited Neshek to just 32.1 innings over the last two seasons. Now 39 years old, there's a chance that the injuries drive him to retirement, though he's yet to indicate any plans in that direction. He recorded an ERA of 3.62 or below in seven straight seasons prior to 2019, posting ERAs below 2.00 in three of those campaigns, so he'll likely find work if he wants it.

Neshek (hamstring) will not pitch again this season, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was hoping to return at some point in September after receiving a PRP injection during the All-Star break, but the PRP shot did not the desired effect. He will head into the offseason as a 39-year-old free agent. Neshek had really good numbers in 2018 and will probably be able to find a major-league role if he decides to continue his career.

Neshek (hamstring) may not return before the end of the season, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neshek has been sidelined since mid-June with a balky hamstring. He received a PRP injection over the All-Star break, though it didn't have the desired effect. The veteran reliever is contemplating another injection or surgery, either of which would prematurely end his season.

Neshek's hamstring is not progressing, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neshek has been out with a hamstring strain since mid-June. He received a PRP injection in mid-July, which apparently hasn't had the desired effect. The 38-year-old is considering another injection or surgery. The Phillies haven't officially ruled him out for the season, but he'd have to make some very rapid progress if he's to pitch before the end of September.

Neshek (hamstring) received a PRP injection and isn't expected to return until early or mid-September, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neshek owns a 5.00 ERA in 18 innings in what has become an injury-filled age-38 season. He'll still have a chance to make an impact over the final few weeks of the regular season and potentially in the playoffs, should the Phillies qualify, but the timeline is tight enough that even a small setback will probably shut him down for the year.

Neshek (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Neshek has been without a clear timeline since straining his hamstring in mid-June. He'll now be ineligible to return to action before August 19. The move creates space on the 40-man roster for the Phillies to select Rob Brantly's contract.

Manager Gabe Kapler said Saturday that Neshek (hamstring) is without a timetable to return from the 10-day injured list, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies should have a better feel for when Neshek might be ready to go once he's cleared to resume baseball activities, but Kapler's lack of optimistic comments about the situation suggests the veteran reliever could be sidelined through the All-Star break. Neshek missed nearly a month with rotator cuff inflammation before returning from the 10-day IL earlier this week, making only one appearance for the big club and then returning to the IL with a strained left hamstring.

Neshek (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was expected after Neshek suffered a left hamstring strain during Wednesday's doubleheader. The severity of the issue is not yet known, leaving the 38-year-old reliever without a return date. Ranger Suarez will replace Neshek on the roster and in the bullpen.

Neshek suffered a left hamstring strain Wednesday and is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neshek was activated off the IL on Sunday and lasted only 11 pitches before sustaining a new injury in his first game back. The 28-year-old should be further evaluated Thursday to determine the severity of the injury.
