Victorino was officially diagnosed with a left eye bruise and a sore jaw. He said he did not have headaches, but the team will conduct baseline testing in the next few days for concussion symptoms.
"We were both being aggressive," Victorino said. "We were both trying to make a play. I saw him at the last second and kind of eased up."
The centerfielder remained facedown on the field for a few minutes as players, athletic trainers, and Charlie Manuel came to his aid. Victorino was bleeding from his nose and mouth.
"That's what made me nervous," he said.
Victorino said he could have stayed in the game. Ryan Howard, dressing nearby, said he doubted that.
"As of right now," Victorino said, "I feel fine."
Halladay beats Red Sox
He didn't finish the deal, but Halladay just about proved he's all systems go for his opening-day start April 1. In 72/3 innings against a Boston lineup that included regulars Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Halladay allowed one run on five hits. He struck out six and walked three, the one number he was likely most upset about.
"He's ready," Manuel said. "He threw 98 pitches. He's about where we want him to be."
Extra bases
Add righthander Jose Contreras to the list of wounded Phillies. The team said Contreras would be sidelined for a few days to recover from a corneal abrasion. . . . Brad Lidge (biceps tendinitis) will pitch in a minor-league game Tuesday, his first game appearance since March 11. . . . Manuel said Placido Polanco (hyperextended left elbow) will take swings Tuesday. "He'll play in the next couple of days if he's OK," Manuel said.
