CHICAGO — Odúbel Herrera was one of the group's most smoking hitters when Joe Girardi chose toward the finish of May to begin batting the outfielder consistently at the highest point of the Phillies' setup. It's anything but a simple choice: The Phillies were looking for creation at the highest point of the request and Herrera had been batting .303 with a .880 OPS over the past three weeks. 

In any case, that achievement blurred as Herrera has since been one of baseball's most un-useful leadoff hitters. Furthermore, that prompted Girardi resting Herrera for what the chief says could a few days. 

"He played so well for us and the most recent three weeks have been somewhat of a battle," Girardi said Tuesday. "So I thought perhaps I'd give several days and check whether that invigorates him." 

Herrera said he's been playing through a sensitive lower leg and wrist, however the wounds are not idea to be not kidding. He homered on Monday yet has a .268 on-base rate since May 30 when batting leadoff. It's the 6th least imprint in the majors during that stretch among leadoff hitters. 

His OPS (.688) is in excess of 100 focuses lower than where it was on June 1, and he keep going worked a stroll on June 14. Entering Tuesday, he was the solitary part in the National League to have 70 plate appearances since June 15 without one walk. 

"I realize that when I was way lower in the arrangement, I was hitting the ball well," Herrera said. "I feel like when they changed me to the leadoff spot, I was finding real success from the outset yet then things sort of wrecked a bit. I actually feel sure and I really like being the leadoff hitter." 

The Phillies supplanted Herrera in the leadoff spot with Jean Segura, who drives them in both batting normal and on-base rate. He profiles well at the highest point of the request and could deal with that job in any event, when Herrera gets back from his holiday. Maybe the Phillies would be best served to drop Herrera in the request as he would be wise to progress this season winding up in a real predicament of the setup. 

"I haven't seen whatever's definitely extraordinary," Girardi said of Herrera's methodology throughout the most recent three weeks. "He hasn't been as fruitful, however I actually feel great about him." 

The Phillies attempted three parts in focus field before they went to Herrera toward the finish of April. He had not played in almost a long time since being suspended in 2019 in the wake of being captured on abusive behavior at home charges. It was normal that Herrera would require some an ideal opportunity to reacclimate himself against major-alliance pitching. After a month, he was batting leadoff and was finding his sweet spot. Yet, after five weeks, the Phillies are hoping to reset him. 

"I must be straightforward with you, I feel great at the plate," Herrera said. "I realize I haven't been getting such a large number of hits, however I'm seeing the ball well. I feel better. I'm 100% sure that those hits will come. Balls will begin falling on the ground."
