Victorino should be fine for Wednesday


You may have noticed the brief scare at Citizens Bank Park before the Phillies clinched their second straight division title Saturday.

No, not the dramatic inning that ended with Brad Lidge roaring like a lion after escaping a healthy heaping of trouble.

Two innings earlier, Shane Victorino collided with Jimmy Rollins on a shallow pop fly to center. Vic was down for a little while, and put hit glove over his face at one point.

He stayed in the game, legged out a single and scored on a double in the next half inning... but nervousness began spreading around the clubhouse a bit when he was absent from the postgame celebration.

Victorino was in the trainer's room.

"He's fine," Phillies head athletic trainer Scott Sheridan said Sunday. "He could play today if he absolutely had to."

The injury is diagnosed as a shin contusion. Victorino, who wore a small bandage around the leg Sunday, should be 100 percent when the playoffs begin Wednesday.
