The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day disabled list Thursday due to a kidney ailment.
The change is retroactive to Monday.
The Phillies acquired Hays from the Baltimore Orioles in late July, just before the MLB trade deadline. This is his second IL stay since then, having missed two weeks in August due to a hamstring ailment.
Hays, 29, is hitting.254 in 19 games since joining Philadelphia, with one home run, five doubles, and five RBIs. In 82 games with the Orioles and Phillies this season, he is batting.254 with four home runs, 18 doubles, and 19 RBIs.
Hays, a 2023 All-Star, is a career player.261 hitter with 67 home runs and 247 RBIs in 576 games for Baltimore (2017, 2019-24) and Philadelphia.
The Phillies recalled outfielder Cal Stevenson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley as part of a 28-man roster change.
Stevenson previously appeared in seven games with the Phillies this season, going 2-for-10 with an RBI in August.
The Phillies begin a four-game road series against the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
