WASHINGTON — Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> closer Jhoan Duran<\/a> was carted off the field after he took a comebacker off his right foot in the ninth inning of a 6-2 victory<\/a> over the Washington Nationals<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Phillies said that initial X-rays were negative and that Duran would be evaluated further Saturday.<\/p>\n

Pitching in a non-save situation after four days off, Duran began the ninth by facing Paul DeJong<\/a>, who hit a sharp grounder to the mound on his fourth pitch. The ball deflected off Duran’s foot and into foul territory for a single.<\/p>\n

Duran ran toward the ball but began limping as he approached the foul line. After a lengthy visit by team trainers, he took a seat in the Nationals’ bullpen cart and was driven off the field.<\/p>\n

“He ran like a shot to retrieve the ball, and once he got there, I think the adrenaline wore off and the pain set in,” Thomson said. “But before the cart came out, he said, ‘I actually feel better, I think I can walk over to the dugout.’ But we got all these steps up here, so we just wanted to use the cart and take him all the way around, so he didn’t have to go up the steps.”<\/p>\n

Acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, Duran is 4-for-4 in save opportunities with the Phillies.<\/p>\n
