Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley left the team Wednesday for personal reasons and there is no timetable for his return, manager Joe Girardi said.
The Phillies placed their former first-round pick on the restricted list and called up former No. 1 pick Mickey Moniak.
Girardi, who said he learned of Haseley’s decision Wednesday, would not divulge the reasons behind the 25-year-old’s sudden absence.
“I spoke with Adam (on the phone). We had a nice talk today and I think we all agreed that this was probably the best and we’ll move forward,” Girardi said. “It’s personal reasons. And we have no timetable. We’re all thinking about Adam.”
