Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adolis García left Wednesday night's 7-4 win at the Toronto Blue Jays in the seventh inning after making consecutive throws to home plate on sacrifice flies. Steward Berroa replaced him in right field. García was diagnosed with a pulled muscle in his right shoulder.
Manager Don Mattingly said the team plans to obtain imaging on Thursday to determine the injury's severity. "We'll probably get some imaging tomorrow, find out the true severity of it," Mattingly said. " García entered Wednesday's game with four outs above average, third most among MLB right fielders.
His four outfield assists were tied for sixth in baseball. "He's been a weapon for us out there in right field," Mattingly said. " García went 0-for-3 with a walk before leaving. 195 with seven home runs and 21 RBIs this season.
He signed a $10 million, one-year contract with the Phillies last December. ESPN reported the details of García's exit and Mattingly's comments.
