Halladay to have shoulder examined Tuesday
Marc Narducci
NEW YORK - A Phillies team official said that Roy Halladay will have his injured shoulder examined tomorrow, but the details are still being worked out.
He has to wait until tomorrow because of the Memorial Day holiday.
According to the team, it is not yet known whether Halladay will be examined in New York or return to Philadelphia. Halladay is with the team in New York for today’s opening of the three-game series with the Mets at Citi Field.
The righthander had to leave after the second inning of Sunday’s 8-3 loss in St. Louis with soreness in the back of his right shoulder.
Halladay took the loss on Sunday, allowing a first-inning grand slam to Yadier Molina. He was lifted after two innings by pitching coach Rich Dubee and Halladay told reporters afterwards he felt it was the right call.
Halladay is 4-5 with a 3.98 ERA this season.
The Phillies are old. They were old last year, and except for Galvis they are older this year. What the heck do people expect. In baseball, young teams win and old teams get rebuilt. Rubin waited 2 years too long, and the team and the fans are paying the price.
But this being Philly, regardless of how he handled it, half the people would complain. That's just us.— WallStreetExaminer- They aren't that old and they aren't that far off.
How about this stat- The Phillies are the best road team in the NL. As a team the Phillies have scored more runs than than the Nationals, Indians and Reds; 2 fewer than the Rays and 5 fewer runs than the Dodgers--- all division leaders.
This team is four back of the Nationals and it's May and this year there is an extra playoff spot.— JoeinSouthPhilly - Get well soon Roy!! You're one of a handfull of players who really seems to care and go all out. I hope the Phillies give you the same white glove treatment they give to Howard, Utley and Rollins.— AvoidSundanceVacations
- WSE, the "old" team last year won more games than any team in Phillies' history. Amaro should have broke that team up before the season started?— PhillyfaninMD
- The last time Halladay pitched in extreme heat, he looked like a 50-year old with a heart condition. Hope looks are deceiving!— orange rhino
- @Repub.....that's the problem with the Garcia trade, the Phils DID NOT check him out before, during or after the trade. They have since changed their tune and now check out everybody.
Doc might be seeing Dr. David Altchek (Mets MD) in NY tomorrow. He rebuilt Johan Sanatana's shoulder capsule. No piotycher has ever recovered from that surgery to pitch again and Santana is doing pretty well. He is right up there with Dr. Jimmy Andrews and will give him an excellent opinion on Doc's shoulder. I do fear the worst though. I don't think this is a 2 week DL thing. I hope I'm wrong.— Mark1npt
