Phillies pitcher J.A. Happ says that he's fine after taking a line drive off his leg in Thursday's loss to the Rockies.

The incident occurred in the seventh inning. Happ left the game after throwing just four pitches with a bruise.

Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel will have to name a Game 3 starter on Friday. He appears to be deciding between Happ, Joe Blanton and Pedro Martinez, but the latter two are the leading candidates.

Happ said he could pitch Saturday, as a starter or reliever. "I feel like I would he ready," he told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
