Bourjos' shoulder injury may impact trade chances

MIAMI -- Phillies right fielder Peter Bourjos left Tuesday night's game after the first inning when he crashed into the right-field wall to rob Ichiro Suzuki of a hit.

The Phillies had no immediate update on Bourjos' condition.

Philadelphia has been trying to trade Bourjos before Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. He is a free agent after the season, and the Phillies are expected to activate outfielder Aaron Altherr from the disabled list on Thursday. Trading Bourjos would create more playing time for Altherr and possibly even Triple-A outfielder Nick Williams sometime later this season.
