Phillies outfielder Aaron Rowand underwent successful surgery on Friday morning to repair the broken nose he suffered on Thursday night while making a spectacular catch before colliding with the center-field wall in the Phils' 2-0 rain-shortened victory over the Mets at Citizens Bank Park.
Rowand had the surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He also suffered non-displaced fractures around his left eye and received 15 stitches for lacerations to his face.
The club placed Rowand on the 15-day disabled list and called up outfielder Chris Roberson from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take his spot on the roster.
