Phillies' Jeremy Hellickson leaves start with apparent injury
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jeremy Hellickson was forced to make an early exit in the fourth inning of Thursday's start against the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
The injury was reported to be a sprained right knee -- a minor injury that he should have no trouble recovering from as he heads into free agency this off-season.
While Hellickson's 3.71 ERA hints at some improvement this year, his 4.15 SIERA is just above last year's 4.14, and is his worst mark since 2012. He did post a 20.0 percent strikeout rate and 5.8 percent walk rate that were both his best marks since his 2010 rookie season.
