The Philadelphia Phillies, still pushing for the playoffs, put outfielder Corey Dickerson on the 60-day injured list Tuesday because of fractured left foot. Dickerson fouled a ball off the foot on Sept. 4 and played for the following week, but he made his final appearance in a game last Wednesday. Initial X-rays on the foot had been negative.

Dickerson, acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh on July 31, hit .293 with eight home runs and 34 RBIs in 34 games for the Phillies. Overall, the 30-year-old batted .304 with 12 homers and 59 RBIs in 78 games this season. Philadelphia reinstated right-hander reliever Edubray Ramos (shoulder) from the 60-day IL.

The Phillies began Tuesday five games behind the second wild-card spot in the National League. --Field Level Media
