Hamels leaves game. Again.

In case you were wondering, the latest ailment of oft-injured pitcher Cole Hamels is a sprained left ankle.

Hamels was in the middle of a shutout in the fifth inning of Tuesday night's game when he fell awkwardly to the ground while attempting to field a bunt by Washington pitcher John Lannan. Hamels sprained his left ankle - the one he pushes off while pitching - on the play.

After throwing one warm-up pitch to see if he could stay in the game, Hamels angrily flipped the ball in the direction of manager Charlie Manuel and walked off the field.

Hamels, of course, was hit by a line drive in the left shoulder in his last start, Thursday afternoon against the Brewers.
