First baseman Ryan Howard was out of the starting lineup Thursday for the Phillies' game against the Nationals because of a left leg injury. The reigning NL MVP hurt himself running out a fielder's choice grounder in the 10th inning Wednesday night but stayed in for the rest of Philadelphia's 5-4 loss in 13 innings. Howard went 0-for-5 Wednesday to drop his average to .213 for the season. |
