From the Inquirer:
On the day the Phillies announced that Chase Utley, who broke his right hand Thursday, had successful surgery on the fourth metacarpal in his right hand, the team finds out that centerfielder Aaron Rowand would miss tonight's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates because he injured his left shoulder playing tag with his kids at a neighborhood barbecue Thursday night. It is the same shoulder he had surgery on in 2001 and is expected to be day-to-day. Michael Bourn was scheduled to start in centerfield in his absence.
I have this vision of Rowand running full-steam into the fence in his yard in an effort to avoid being tagged by his kid.
In all seriousness, if Rowand should miss any sort of significant time or his play is hampered by this injury, the season really would be lost, given that Chase Utley is the lone song title on John Lannan's Greatest Hits.
