Phillies' Odubel Herrera: Nearing return from DL

Herrera (hamstring) took batting practice Saturday and could soon be activated from the disabled list, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Herrera was eligible to return from the disabled list Friday, but the Phillies are being conservative with him to avoid any aggravation to his left hamstring. Pedro Florimon has started in center field the past two games while Herrera has been sidelined.
