CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Philadelphia Phillies reserve infielder Freddy Galvis has been diagnosed with an infection caused by MRSA, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Friday. The 24-year-old was favoured to earn a roster spot as a utility infielder. Instead hell start the season on the disabled list. "Right now, were more concerned with his overall health more than anything else," Amaro said. "Hes going to be in the hospital for a little bit, I dont know how long. ... Hopefully the infection gets out of his body as quickly as possible." Galvis sustained a cut on his left knee during an exhibition game and last played March 16. An abscess was removed from the wound Wednesday, and complications arose when an infection was detected. Galvis was hospitalized Thursday and treated with oral and intravenous antibiotics. MRSA, or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a staph bacteria that can cause infections and is resistant to many antibiotics. Following Fridays game against Boston, the Phillies had the home clubhouse at Bright House Field cleaned with disinfectant. "Bomb it up pretty good, and try to clear that," Amaro said. "Obviously, it is a bit of a concern. Well take the proper precautions. Unfortunately, when youre in a clubhouse with 60-plus people or whatever it was, this kind of stuff can happen. If you see everyones locker, every single guy has that disinfectant stuff. Its stuff that happens. You cant do much about it be causes trying to prevent anything else from happening." Ronny Cedeno and Reid Brignac, both attending spring training with minor league contracts, are the likely candidates to replace Galvis on the opening-day roster.
