It turns out, the Phillies got some good injury news for a change. David Robertson, who injured his right calf while celebrating Bryce Harper’s Game 2 home run in the National League wild-card playoffs, threw a bullpen session on Monday in San Diego.
SAN DIEGO — Phillies reliever David Robertson, who injured his right calf while celebrating Bryce Harper’s Game 2 home run in the National League wild-card playoffs, threw a bullpen session on Monday in San Diego. According to manager Rob Thomson, Robertson also did some agility work as well as some pitchers’ fielding practice.
“For me, I think he’s got to be full-go tomorrow,” Thomson said. “Because I think it’s a big question mark with that injury that you say, oh, in three days he’s going to be ready. Those three were able to sustain the Phillies in innings 7, 8 and 9 in the best-of-five NL Division Series. But in a best-of-seven NLCS, the Phillies will have to rely on more of their bullpen in high-leverage spots. Alvarado, in particular, has been used quite a bit. Since the beginning of the Phillies’ postseason run, he’s thrown 6 2/3 innings .
“I’ve watched him pitch over the years for sure,” Wheeler said of Darvish. “Kind of the same repertoire, I guess you could say. He throws a little more offspeed than I do, but he’s also got a good fastball. And he attacks guys, whether it’s a different way than I do or not, but he attacks guys. Just watching him pitch, he’s done it for a long time now.
