According to reports from Clearwater, Phillies outfielder Kelly Dugan, who spent last season battling injuries at AA-Reading, will miss roughly two weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot.
Dugan, 24, was recently ranked the Phillies 8th best prospect for 2015 by our minor league contributor Jay Floyd.
Last year with Reading, Dugan was sidelined with multiple injuries and played in only 76 games. He batted 296/.383/.435 and improved on his K-rate.
