Here’s another unfortunate injury scare for the Phillies.
Designated hitter Kyle Schwarber was lifted in the bottom of the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays for pinch hitter Buddy Kennedy.
The Phillies say it was due to “left elbow discomfort.” He’ll be further evaluated.
Schwarber went 1-for-1 with a home run and a walk before being lifted from the game. His first-inning home run set a new major league record for most leadoff home runs in a single season with 14.
We’ll have more on this story as more information becomes available.
