Phillies' Austin Hays Placed on IL Due to Persistent Kidney Infection

Hays' return timeline uncertain as initial treatments fail; Cal Stevenson recalled from Triple-A to fill roster spot.

Hays has not played since August 28 and was sent back to Philadelphia for further tests.
The Phillies initially expected antibiotics to resolve the infection within 48 hours, but Hays' condition worsened.
This is Hays' second stint on the injured list since joining the Phillies in late July.
The Phillies are adjusting their outfield lineup with increased roles for Johan Rojas and Brandon Marsh.
Bryce Harper continues to play despite a recent elbow injury, while Alec Bohm remains sidelined with a sore hand.
