As expected. Rollins has what is being termed as a "mild to moderate strain." As such, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. expects him to miss two to four weeks. Juan Castro will take over at shortstop with Wilson Valdez functioning as his primary backup. Shane Victorino is expected to bat leadoff in his absence. It's a tough blow for Rollins, who was batting .391 (9-for-23) with one home run, three RBI and eight runs scored over the first seven games of the season.
