18 Didi Gregorius SS

Gregorius should get into game action by the end of the week, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Gregorius' arrival was slightly delayed by visa issues, but those have since been resolved. While his Grapefruit League debut has been slightly delayed, he still has more than enough time to get up to speed by Opening Day.

Gregorius' visa issues have been resolved, and he's expected to go through intake testing Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Gregorius was part of a large group of players around the league who faced delays getting back into the country for camp. He's expected to be on the field within the next few days, giving him plenty of time to ramp up for Opening Day.

Gregorius is in the process of resolving visa issues and wasn't in attendance Monday for the Phillies' workout, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Gregorius was one of eight Phillies position players who didn't report to camp for the start of workouts, with many being delayed due to travel-related reasons. Once he resolves his immigration status and arrives in Florida, Gregorius will have to complete a mandatory quarantine before reporting to the Phillies' spring training facility. Assuming he's able to join the team for workouts by at least mid-March, Gregorius should have enough time to gear up for the Phillies' April 1 season opener versus the Braves.

Gregorius agreed to a two-year, $28 million contract with the Phillies on Saturday, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reports.

Gregorius drew interest from several clubs in free agency, but he'll ultimately return to the Phillies on a two-year pact. The 30-year-old should reclaim his job as the starting shortstop in Philadelphia after slashing .284/.339/.488 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI while appearing in all 60 games during the 2020 season.

Gregorius is drawing early interest from the Angels ahead of free agency, George A. King of the New York Post reports.

The 30-year-old shortstop seems to be a natural fit for the Angels with Andrelton Simmons also heading for free agency and the club perhaps looking to add another left-handed bat to a currently righty-heavy lineup. Gregorius slashed .284/.339/.488 with 10 homers across 237 plate appearances with the Phillies during the abbreviated 2020 season.

Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer during Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

The 30-year-old went deep during the ninth inning as the Phillies piled on six runs to close out the game. Gregorius has a .289/.344/.505 slash line with 10 homers, 34 runs and 40 RBI in 56 games this season.

Gregorius went 4-for-7 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI during Friday's doubleheader sweep of the Blue Jays.

The shortstop did most of his damage during a 7-0 win in the matinee, going 3-for-4. Gregorius has hit safely in five straight games, and he's slashing .315/.367/.521 with four homers and 15 RBI in 21 games this month.

Gregorius went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mets on Thursday.

Gregorius hit the third of three consecutive home runs by the Phillies in the first inning, following Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm with a round tripper of his own. It was the third homer in four games for Gregorius, who has gone 7-for-17 over that span.

Gergorius went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Mets.

He took Rick Porcello deep in the fifth inning, Gregorius' eighth homer and only the third long ball the Mets right-hander has allowed this season. The shortstop is putting together a strong kick to the finish line, slashing .314/.368/.600 over his last 11 games with three home runs and eight RBI.

Gregorius is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The 30-year-old went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk during Saturday's win, but he won't be in the lineup for Sunday's matinee. Gregorius figures to rejoin the starting nine for the nightcap, while Ronald Torreyes starts Game 1 at shortstop.

Gregorius went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk Saturday as he paced the Phillies to a 12-6 win over the Marlins.

Gregorius was the fifth hitter in the Phillies' order Saturday and came up to bat in the first inning with the bases loaded after Marlins pitcher Jose Urena allowed three of the first four batters he faced to get on. Gregorius quickly went down 0-2 in the count before Urena mistakenly threw him a hanging slider up in the zone, which Gregorius sent sailing over the right-field wall for an early 4-0 lead. Gregorius has been one of the better bats for the Phillies all season as he is slashing .283/.343/.487 with seven home runs and 29 RBI while leading the team with 43 hits.

Gregorius isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Gregorius will get a breather for Friday's nightcap after going 1-for-4 with one run in Game 1. Ronald Torreyes will take over at shortstop.

Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, a stolen base and two additional runs scored during a 6-5 win over the Red Sox in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

He bookended the Phillies' offense in the matinee, as his blast off Martin Perez in the second inning got the team on the board before he came home with the winning run on Alec Bohm's walkoff single in the seventh. After going 1-for-3 with an RBI in the nightcap, Gregorius is slashing .273/.335/.468 through 39 games with six homers, three steals, 23 RBI and 25 runs.

Gregorius will sit Saturday against the Mets.

Gregorius hits the bench for just the second time all season. Jean Segura slides to shortstop in his absence, with Neil Walker starting at second.

Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-10 loss to Atlanta.

Gregorius went yard in the second inning and added a two-RBI triple in the third. He later scored on a Phil Gosselin groundout to get the Phillies within three runs. The 30-year-old Gregorius now has five homers, 19 RBI and 18 runs scored in 29 games with a .284 batting average.

Gregorius went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in a 7-4 win over the Phillies on Friday.

Gregorius went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.

Gregorius went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

Gregorius went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 13-8 win over the Braves.

Gregorius does not flinch with the bases loaded; ESPN Stats & Info noted that this was his sixth grand slam since the start of the 2017 season, the most in MLB in that time frame. After not quite looking like himself last year in his return from Tommy John surgery, Gregorius has gotten off to a nice start with Philadelphia, hitting three homers and notching a steal through 11 games.

Gregorius is not in the lineup for the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

With expanded rosters and with the Phillies likely not in midseason shape due to their weeklong layoff last week, it would be a surprise to a large number of Gregorius' teammates start both halves of the doubleheader. Jean Segura will return to his former position in his absence, with Phil Gosselin starting at third base.
