Phillies' Vincent Velasquez removed in the first due to injury
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez was pulled from Wednesday's game in the bottom of the first with an apparent injury.
What It Means:
Velasquez threw just two pitches -- at 86 and 87 miles per hour -- before leaving the field with a trainer. Brett Oberholtzer took over against the visiting Chicago Cubs.
Velasquez has been a really good pitcher this season, recording a 3.49 SIERA and 28.5 percent strikeout rate. Despite their near-.500 start, the rebuilding Phillies figures to be extremely cautious with him.
