Overview

  • Jhoan Durán was struck on his right foot by a 94.1 mph Paul DeJong comebacker in the ninth inning of the Aug. 15 game and limped off on a bullpen cart.
  • The Phillies announced Friday night that X-rays on Durán’s foot and ankle were negative, with further evaluation set for Saturday.
  • Manager Rob Thomson said the cart was used as a precaution after adrenaline wore off, and veteran reliever David Robertson closed out the 6–2 win.
  • Durán, acquired July 30 from the Twins for prospects Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait, had been perfect in four save opportunities and owned a 1.86 ERA.
  • In an opinion report, a FanSided analyst predicted that free agent Jordan Romano may not return next season after posting a 7.24 ERA.
