Phillies closer Jhoan Duran driven off field after taking comebacker off his right foot
Duran, acquired at the trade deadline, is 4-for-4 in save opportunities with the Phillies this season after being injured by a comebacker during a 6-2 win.
- Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Durán was hit by a 94.1 mph line drive off his right foot during the ninth inning of their August 15 game at Nationals Park.
- Durán, acquired at the July 30 trade deadline from Minnesota, entered the game with a 6-2 lead and had four days off before pitching in a non-save situation.
- After Durán ran down the ball and began limping near the foul line, team trainers attended him before he was taken off the field in the Nationals' bullpen cart to keep pressure off his ankle.
- X-Rays on Durán's right ankle were negative, and Thomson reported that Durán felt better as the delay wore on during the lengthy pause for the cart.
- Durán's injury interrupted the Phillies as they halted a three-game losing streak and continued their push toward a season-high National League East lead with 40 games remaining.
