Philadelphia's Jay Bruce exits Saturday's game with left hamstring tightness

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves after experiencing left hamstring tightness.

What It Means:

Bruce was replaced in the fifth inning after suffering left hamstring discomfort. Consider the veteran day-to-day until an exact injury can be diagnosed and look for Nick Williams to see more playing time if Bruce needs time to recover.

In 204 at-bats this season, Bruce is hitting .230 with 19 home runs and 41 RBI.
