Ryan Howard is listed as day-to-day with what is being described as a ligament sprain -- the ligament that joins the tibia and fibia is sprained. Howard underwent an X-ray following the game, but did not undergo a scheduled MRI as originally reported in this morning's Philadelphia newspapers.
For the non-medically savvy Phillies fans, the decision to not give Howard an MRI is a strange one. A sprained ligament can just as easily show up as a partial tear on an MRI.
Howard was walking with a limp Thursday, and will not start this afternoon in Washington. Gregg Dobbs will play first with Pat Burrell batting fourth.
