David Buchanan carted off field during IronPigs game

The former Phillies starter savaged his leg trying to field a grounder.

The Phillies' pitching depth took another hit as David Buchanan had to be carted off the field in Rochester on Saturday. Four innings into his third start for the IronPigs this year, Buchanan went to field a grounder off the mound when his leg buckled and he collapsed in a heap.

What a bummer in Rochester, as @IronPigs P David Buchanan twisted his leg on a grounder & is down in pain. Taking him off in cart @Phillies

Without knowing the extent of the injury, we can still assume that this solidifies Sean O'Sullivan's spot on the Phillies' rotation for the time being.
