After learning Monday that he’ll be sidelined for three to four weeks due to a strained left hamstring, Rays outfielder Brett Phillips set aside just one day to feel sorry for himself.
Anyone who knows Phillips, or even saw him serve as a whiteboard-holding “coach” during the American League Championship Series last year, understands that he’ll still bring a positive attitude and boundless energy to the Rays even while he’s working his way back. That was already the case on Tuesday.
“We've got business to take care of all around,” Phillips said Tuesday morning. “Come into the clubhouse each and every day, get my work in, be a good teammate, give energy, things that my teammates expect of me. And that's what I'm going to do until I'm back out there next to them.”
