Chase Utley to join Jimmy Rollins as guest analyst on TBS
Warner Media announced Monday in a press release that former Phillies second baseman Chase Utley will join his double play partner Jimmy Rollins in-studio as a guest analyst on the MLB on TBS Tuesday Night pre-and postgame shows on May 17. The two will be joined by host Lauren Shehadi and analyst Curtis Granderson. Utley will fill in for former Phillie Pedro Martinez that week.
MLB on TBS Leadoff kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on May 17 and leads up to a 7:00 p.m. matchup between the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox.
This is not Utley’s first venture into baseball media since he retired from the game after the 2018 season. Utley joined SportsNet LA as a Dodgers in-studio analyst for the 2019 season.
Both Utley and Rollins currently hold the title of special assistant to the president of baseball operations with their respective clubs. Rollins, who was named as a special advisor back in 2019, was appointed to his current position with the Phillies in March while Utley assumed a similar role with the Dodgers in 2019.
Rollins was hired as an analyst for TBS during the 2016 postseason.
