World Series: Chan Ho latest with flu bug


Chan Ho Park may or may not be available for Game 4 Sunday night.

He wasn't able to pitch in Saturday's Game 3, however, as he was the latest Phils' player to catch the flu bug. After Greg Dobbs and Brad Lidge missed Saturday's workout - and non-roster reliever Tyler Walker was sent home before Game 1 in New York, Park came down with a stomach ailment Saturday.


"Right at game time; that’s why he didn’t pitch," Manuel said. "He came and told me he was sick. When I talked to him, he said he was throwing up. You could tell he was feeling pretty rough."

Manuel said he may have called on Park, instead of J.A. Happ, when he pulled Cole Hamels in the fifth; two runners were on base with one out and A-Rod due up.

"In that situation, I might have gone to Chan Ho with a righty Alex Rodriguez standing there," Manuel said.

As of 4 p.m. Sunday, Manuel hadn't talked to Park to gage whether he was well enough to pitch in Game 4.
