Ross Playing Hurt

Cody Ross is playing through an injury:

The bone was so bruised by the plunking that Ross required X-rays, but the injury wasn’t enough to keep him out of Game 5?s lineup against Roy Halladay. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and three strikeouts in Thursday’s loss.

We’ll see if the Phillies try to take advantage of this. Of course, Ross might be trying to convince the Phillies that the injury is worse than it is, so they do challenge him. Most players try to hide injuries when they’re playing through them. That’s why we often find out after the season that someone needs surgery.
