CLEARWATER, Fla. — Phillies pitcher Daniel Robert has been released from the hospital after suffering a cardiac event at the team’s spring-training facility, manager Rob Thomson said Sunday afternoon.
Robert, who had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator inserted to monitor heart rhythm and correct irregular rhythms in dangerous situations after dealing with a previous cardiac event last year, suffered the latest event following a bullpen session on Sunday morning. While still on the mound outside BayCare Ballpark, Robert grabbed his chest and went to the ground.
“Daniel had another cardiac event on the mound today,” the Phillies said soon after.
