Phillies Minor Leaguer Ben Lively Injures His Thigh

Ben Lively, a minor league pitcher in the Philadelphia Phillies organization, injured his thigh while pitching in a game on Thursday. The injury occurred when Lively was delivering a pitch in the first inning of the game. He immediately grabbed his thigh and fell to the ground in pain.

Lively was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks while he recovers from the injury.

The injury is a setback for Lively, who was having a strong season in the minors. He had a 3.20 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 10 starts this season.

The Phillies will now have to look for another starter to fill Lively's spot in the rotation. The team could call up a pitcher from the minors or sign a free agent.

Lively's injury is also a blow to the Phillies' fantasy baseball owners. He was a popular sleeper pick this season, but his injury will now likely keep him out of action for most of the season.
