Nick Williams Leaves Game With Wrist Soreness

There has been another injury in the outfield for the Philadelphia Phillies. Nick Williams left Wednesday's game with soreness in his wrist. It doesn't seem very serious for now, and he should be considered day-to-day until further notice. Dylan Cozens would play more if Williams missed any time. Neither player holds much value, and they […]

Pat Neshek Throws Bullpen Session

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Pat Neshek (forearm) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday. It was his third since his forearm injury, but he used his slider for the first time.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran was taken out of Monday's game with a thumb injury. The right-hander injured his thumb in his only at-bat.

Rhys Hoskins Has "Big Cut" On Lip

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins has a "big cut" on his lip following Monday's game. Manager Gabe Kapler is "not overly concerned." Things could have been much worse after he fouled a Kenley Jansen pitch off of his face, but it doesn't look like Hoskins will miss any extended time. The slugger may miss a […]

Ronald Acuna Placed On 10-Day Disabled List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna will be placed on the 10-day disabled list with a mild ACL sprain in his left knee and a lower back contusion. This could have been much worse.

Hector Neris Pick Up Save Monday

Philadelphia Phillies closer Hector Neris picked up the save with a clean inning Monday against the Atlanta Braves. Neris struck out one of the three batters he faced.
