Jhoan Duran Suffers Foot Injury, Initial X-Rays Negative

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran was carted off the field Friday night after taking a 94.1 mph comebacker from Paul DeJong off his right foot/ankle in the ninth inning against the Nationals. Fortunately, initial X-rays on his ankle were negative, though he will undergo further evaluation on Saturday. Duran, acquired from the Minnesota Twins before the July 31 trade deadline, has been a key bullpen piece for the Phillies, sporting a 1.86 ERA and 20 saves this season, including a perfect 4-for-4 in save opportunities since joining Philadelphia.
