Former Phillies starting pitcher Ben Lively has been playing in the Korean Baseball Organization this season but unfortunately, he’ll be missing some time after making just three starts.
According to KBO analyst Jin-Hyeok Jang, Lively suffered a ruptured lateral muscle during his start last week.
Other KBO analysts on Twitter note that this was the second consecutive game where Lively left early with an injury. Brian Murphy, who covers Lively’s alma mater UCF for SB Nation, noted that Lively took a ball off his pitching hand in the start before injuring his side.
