Phillies' Jose Alvarez Injured After Being Hit by 105 MPH Line Drive in Groin

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jose Alvarez was removed from Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays after being hit in the groin by a line drive.

Per Tim Kelly of Phillies Nation, Alvarez had to be carted off the field after a liner from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit him in the groin. Alvarez was able to throw Gurriel out before falling to the ground.

Per MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, the ball came off Gurriel's bat at 105.3 mph.

Zolecki noted the Phillies didn't have an immediate update on Alvarez's status after Toronto's 3-2 victory.
