RHP Clay Buchholz's first season in Philly likely over with forearm injury

Buchholz had allowed six runs on eight hits over 2 1/3 innings and, as he put it, "wasn't doing the team any favors throwing what I was throwing at that point in time so I made the move".

RHP Addison Reed notched his third save filling in for the suspended Jeurys Familia to help the Mets win 5-4 against the Phillies on Wednesday night.

No matter the outcomes, it's hard to imagine the pitcher back on the mound for the Phillies in the coming months. "I've pitched through some stuff throughout my career that I was able to get through, and the last time this happened, it was in (2015), I tried to do the same thing and I couldn't get through it". He struck out four and walked one. Buchholz is likely facing an extended absence, and surgery is an option that would end his season, with a second opinion coming from the noted doctor. His velocity had noticeably dropped, and he wasn't fooling many hitters, as evident by the 10 runs and 16 hits he allowed in 7⅓ innings. He split last season between double A and triple A, finishing with a 3.45 ERA in 27 starts with 138 strikeouts in 148.2 innings.

The slow start didn't owe to a lingering health issue: Buchholz said warming up Tuesday was the best he felt, up until the injury flared. Cespedes hit about a mile and a half worth of homers and drove in five. Lucas Duda compiled his fifth multi-homer game against the Phillies, mashing one over the batter's eye wall in deep center, an estimated 448 feet. His rotation turn falls in line with Buchholz.

Buchholz's injury tends to be the kind that sidelines a pitcher for months, not days or weeks. "You're here for a reason".
