April 13, 2010 - PRLog -- The 2009 National League pennant in center field hadn't been flying for more than 15 minutes before the first wave of injury news hit the Phillies: Shortstop Jimmy Rollins, out with a left calf strain.

Five innings later, another player went down as right fielder Jayson Werth left with a sore left hip.

So it was a rather inauspicious home debut for Philadelphia on Monday. The Phillies did enough to get past Washington, 7-4. But concern surrounding two key members of the offense put a damper on an otherwise festive afternoon.

In the clubhouse after the game, Werth shrugged off his injury as mostly precautionary and day-to-day. Rollins, who did not address the media postgame, will get an MRI on his calf at Thomas Jefferson Memorial Hospital on Tuesday.

Rollins was set to start his ninth straight home opener. He had taken batting practice and marched across center field as part of the pregame procession. He had lined up along the first-base line for pregame introductions. But minutes before the first pitch, and after the lineup cards had already been delivered to home plate, Rollins had to ask out.

"He grabbed his calf right before the game started," manager Charlie Manuel said. "He thought he did it right before, out there stretching and running."
