Yes, the injury gremlin has reared its ugly, green head filled with razor-sharp teeth and venom. In other words, the Phillies lost their second leadoff hitter in less than a week on Saturday night when Shane Victorino injured his right calf running for home on a wild pitch in the fifth inning of Saturday night's victory of the Cubs.
It's the same injury that sidelined Victorino for three weeks in August last season.
"He was hurting when I took him out of the game," Charlie Manuel said.
More on Victorino's injury, the calf muscle and other stuff tomorrow morning. I want to go home.
