AutoDraft Pro AI

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran reported he felt "100 percent" on Saturday, just a day after he exited Friday's game against Washington after taking a line drive off his right ankle. Duran, who has recorded four saves in five scoreless appearances since being acquired last month, was hit by a Paul DeJong shot in the ninth inning and had to be carted off the field. Manager Rob Thomson confirmed X-rays were negative and stated Duran was "good to go," noting the injury likely caused a temporary "dead foot" sensation due to hitting a nerve.
