Ryan Howard Injured

Kyle Scott | August 1, 2010


Ryan Howard left the 1st inning of today's game with a sprained left ankle.  X-rays on the ankle and his right elbow (from being hit by a pitch in the first inning) were both negative.

He twisted the ankle awkwardly going back into the second base bag.

Looks like he dodged a serious bullet here, but sprains can be lasting injuries. 

MLB managed to have the most unprofessional tweet possible about the pic above:

Thanks, dicks.
