Philadelphia Phillies Welcome Austin Hays Back After Hamstring Injury

Return from Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies announced the activation of Austin Hays from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

Hays had been sidelined since August due to a left hamstring strain.

The Phillies placed Hays on the injured list retroactive to Thursday after he injured his hamstring while running to first base in Wednesday's game.

The hamstring injury has been a significant issue for Philadelphia this season, with several players experiencing similar setbacks.

Acquired in a trade to be the everyday left fielder, Hays has been a valuable addition to the Phillies lineup.

The Phillies reinstated Hays from the injured list on Friday, making him eligible to play in the team's upcoming games.

According to research by the Sports Injury Bulletin, hamstring strains account for approximately 12% of all sports injuries.

Recovery time typically ranges from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury.
Proper rehabilitation and stretching can help prevent future hamstring strains.
