David Robertson Off NLDS Roster Due To Injury
2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (calf) strained his calf jumping when outfielder Bryce Harper hit a home run in Game 2 of the National League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Robertson received a platelet-rich plasma injection and was left off the roster for the NL Division Series this week against the Atlanta Braves. It's a notable loss for the Phillies for this series, as Robertson was solid for the Phillies in a high-leverage role in the regular season, posting a 2.40 ERA (3.58 FIP), a 1.16 WHIP, 20 saves and 81 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings with the Phillies and Chicago Cubs. Zach Eflin will continue to serve as the team's primary closer against the Braves this week.
