Brian Schneider left Wednesday's game with a hamstring injury.

Schneider blew a tire while rounding third and had to retreat back to the base on a play where he should have scored. He was replaced by Dane Sardinha. We'll update Schneider's condition when more is known.

Brian Schneider has left Phillies' camp indefinitely for personal reasons.

No word on when he may return. Dane Sardinha and Erik Kratz will likely back up Carlos Ruiz while he's gone.

Brian Schneider hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the 12th inning Thursday to lift the Phillies over the Reds 4-3.

It was Schneider's only hit, but it sure was a meaningful one. He had been out of the Phillies' lineup since Friday due to a sprained right thumb, but should see a good chunk of time alongside Dane Sardinha now that he is once again feeling healthy. Schneider is hitting .250 with three home runs.

Brian Schneider is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.

Schneider was a defensive replacement last night, but hasn't started a game since spraining his right thumb last Thursday.

Brian Schneider (thumb) hopes to return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Schneider hasn't played since Friday due to a sprained right thumb. He took batting practice Monday and he said he would try to test his thumb with a bullpen session Tuesday.

The Phillies don't expect to place Brian Schneider on the DL because of his sprained right thumb.

Schneider had the thumb wrapped in a splint before Friday's game, and manager Charlie Manuel said he would try to avoid using him this weekend against the Pirates, but it sounds like he'll avoid the DL. That's really good news for the Phillies since Carlos Ruiz is out with a concussion and his return date is unknown. Dane Sardinha will handle the catching duties while Schneider recovers.

Brian Schneider has a sprained left thumb and might not start a game this weekend.

Schneider can play if necessary, but the Phillies would probably prefer to spare him and let Dane Sardinha do all of the catching for at least the next couple of days.

Brian Schneider left Thursday's game due to a hand injury. He was replaced by Dane Sardinha.

Not good news for the Phils, as Carlos Ruiz is already on the disabled list with a concussion. If Schneider is sidelined for a while, Sardinha would see the lion's share of playing time behind the dish and Paul Hoover would be a candidate to be recalled.

With Carlos Ruiz still ailing, Brian Schneider starts behind the plate for the Phillies on Sunday.

Schneider is 11-for-41 with just two extra-base hits as the Phillies' catcher, but remains a better option than the recently recalled Dane Sardinha.

Phillies activated C Brian Schneider from the 15-day disabled list.

Schneider has missed the past three weeks with a strained Achilles tendon, but is now back in Philadelphia, and back in his old familiar backup role. The veteran was batting .167 in 18 at-bats before the injury.

Schneider has been out since the beginning of May with a strained Achilles tendon. He will remain with Lehigh Valley through the weekend and is expected to rejoin the Phillies on Tuesday in New York.

Brian Schneider (Achilles) is expected to rejoin the Phillies on May 24, the first day that he is eligible to do so.

Schneider was placed on the 15-day disabled list just last week with a strained Achilles tendon. That's normally a fairly serious injury, but the veteran is already running and catching. His return to the 25-man roster should spell the end of Paul Hoover's stint in the big leagues.

Phillies placed C Brian Schneider on the 15-day disabled list with a strained Achilles tendon.

Carlos Ruiz remains healthy and starting, so this is not a fatal knock to the Phillies' hopes. Paul Hoover has been called up from Triple-A to take his place.

Brian Schneider has been diagnosed with a left Achilles strain and will undergo an MRI Saturday night to confirm the diagnosis.

Schneider has managed just 18 at-bats this season as backup to Carlos Ruiz, so it wouldn't be a big hit to the Phillies if he were to hit the disabled list. He's batting .167/.286/.167 in those 18 tries.
