Most Valuable Player Jimmy Rollins has been scratched from the games tonight because of a problem with a strain in his calf. Even though Rollins is just thirty one years old, he has been a bit dangerous with a bat. That is talking about being dangerous to the other teams.


Rollins has the distinguished pleasure to have forty four walks last season. That is from 725 times of being at the plate. He apparently has gained some prowess at that same plate, and states that he is not being thrown many strikes.
Rollins is a shortstop for the Phillies and has been scoring 100 runs in five out of six past seasons. This news about his strained calf is unfortunate, but welcomed by the competing teams. He was replaced by Juan Castro. His injury was sustained while warming up. He was running in the outfield when the strain happened, just before the game.
The ability to draw walks is not uncommon for those batters who start to have a strong career. He is batting .391 this season and has a .516 on-base percentage. This particular player goes by the nickname “J-Roll”. He will be getting a MRI done on his ailing calf and will be out of the games for an undisclosed amount of time.
