Sunday morning, Phillies assistant GM Scott Proefrock updated news on the injury to Carlos Ruiz:
“Apparently there was a collision in the game. Subsequent to that, I guess he was chasing a pop up, he flipped his mask off and he felt it. So they took him out of the game. It was diagnosed as a neck strain. He was treated, sent home after the game and they’ll reevaluate him today when he comes back in.”
Bruce Chen, Panama’s pitcher, diagnosed Ruiz with a nerve pinch after the injury happened.
Andy Martino reports that Carlos Ruiz took batting practice and will be in Panama’s lineup tonight against the Dominican Republic.

Damn, I was hoping the Phils would sign Pudge as his replacement! Anyone see his phenominal game last night?

Please be hurt Carlos. You are such a poor catcher. Yea you can field but so can my aunt millie. You cant hit at all. Chris Brown can hit better.

I hope Chooch is better and crushes one out of the park tonight. If Panama loses tonight (as expected vs. the DR), then Chooch will be back in Clearwater very soon.
