Utley breaks hand

Philadelphia Phillies MVP candidate Chase Utley broke his right hand after being hit by a John Lannan pitch in the fifth inning. Utley finished the game, a 7-6 Phillies loss, but will be shelved for the foreseeable future. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list immediately following the game.

Utley's spot on the roster will probably be taken by pitcher Brett Myers, who is expected to come off the DL shortly.

Myers hasn't pitched since May 23 because of a shoulder injury.
