April 8 -- ROLLINS HURT? (UPDATED)

NEW YORK -- The Phillies have tacked on two runs in the eighth to go up 5-2, but Jimmy Rollins has left the game. He spun awkwardly back to second base when Mets reliever Aaron Heilman faked a pick-off throw, and although he stayed in the game and scored on Chase Utley's RBI double, he has been replaced at shortstop by Eric Bruntlett.

We'll find out after the game if he's seriously injured.

(Updated, 4:15 p.m.): Rollins has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain. More after the game.

Ack. It's not good to talk about the Phillies comeback before the game is even over. Especially with Gordon on the mound...
