| Breaking News |  | Friday, October 16th, 2015: LF Lastings Milledge Out
Philadelphia fans will be disappointed to learn that Lastings Milledge developed a hyperextended knee while running the bases in today's game. After the doctor informed the Philadelphia Phillies manager that Milledge was expected to miss 4 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the left fielder could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
Batting .276 to date, Milledge has 7 home runs and 50 RBIs. |
