Jimmy Rollins went 2-for-5 and hit his second homer Friday against the Diamondbacks.
The homer was his first since April 7. If Rollins is going to hit for his usual modest average again this year, he really needs to do better in homers and steals (3-for-5 so far) to be a quality fantasy shortstop. May 11 - 12:40 AM

Jimmy Rollins knocked in two of the Phillies' three runs Monday in a victory over the Pirates.

Rollins had two hits, but the first RBI actually came on a bases-loaded HBP. He's 8-for-21 in five games since replacing Ben Revere as the Phillies' leadoff hitter.

Jimmy Rollins - SS - Phillies

Jimmy Rollins doubled in two runs and walked twice as the Phillies' leadoff man on Friday.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel gave Rollins a start as a No. 2 hitter earlier this week, but Rollins was back leading off today. It may be an idea that he revisits later, especially now that he seems to like Michael Young batting fifth behind Ryan Howard. If Rollins leads off and Young bats fifth, that'd probably result in three straight lefties (Ben Revere, Chase Utley, Howard) in the two-through-four spots.

Jimmy Rollins is out of Monday's lineup after tweaking his calf on a pickoff play Sunday.

It doesn't sound like a big deal, as Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was planning to give him a day off anyway. There's a decent chance he's back in there Tuesday, though there's no reason to rush him back in the final week of the season.

Jimmy Rollins homered and drove in three runs Tuesday, powering the Phillies in a 9-7 victory over the Marlins.

Rollins finished the night 2-for-3 with three RBI and a stolen base. His two-run shot off Chris Hatcher in the sixth inning should've never happened, as Marlins catcher Rob Brantly dropped a simple foul pop on the pitch immediately preceding it. Rollins remains one of the finest offensive shortstops in all of baseball, now hitting .247 with 18 homers, 58 RBI and 26 thefts.

Jimmy Rollins - SS - Phillies

Jimmy Rollins was pulled from Thursday's game after six innings.

It appears that he was pulled for disciplinary reasons. Rollins didn't hustle on a pop-up that ended up being dropped by Jon Niese and was later caught napping between second and third. Michael Martinez entered the game to replace him at shortstop.
