Veteran infielder Will Middlebrooks, who signed a minor-league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies last month, left Saturday's spring training game with what appeared to be an injury to his left ankle or leg.
Playing third base, Middlebrooks was injured in the eight inning when he drifted back while attempting to catch a pop fly. Left fielder Andrew Pullin was coming in on the ball and Middlebrook's ankle appeared to get caught underneath Pullin.
Middlebrooks was attended to by trainers before leaving the field on a cart. The team said he was taken to a hospital for X-rays.
