It is being reported that Ibanez has been having difficulties with his groin since April, but recently it has been ‘debilitating’ recently. It had been noticed that he was having difficulties in the field and on the base paths of late.
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. said, "Oh, it's affected his play. When he got back on the field yesterday and played, it got to the point where the discomfort was enough for us to shut him down."
The Phillies have re-called 25-year-old OF John Mayberry, Jr. to replace Ibanez on the roster.
