Even though MLB has since announced a suspension of Spring Training and a delay to the start of the regular season, the Philadelphia Phillies are currently playing the Tampa Bay Rays in the Grapefruit League. In that game, they appear to have avoided a scare.

While Jake Arrieta left his start in the fourth inning, he told Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia that he only left out of precaution after feeling stiffness in his shoulder.
