Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Daniel Robert suffered a serious medical emergency while at the team’s training facility in Florida on Sunday morning.

Robert was at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater when he suffered a cardiac event, according to MLB.com. He was on the pitcher’s mound next to the half-field after he completed his first bullpen session since October.

In October, Robert also had a cardiac event. Doctors inserted an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) near his chest over the winter. The device triggered when he was leaving the mound on Sunday, according to the report.

"I was standing right behind him," manager Rob Thomson said afterward. "It was scary because he went down, he started to get back up again and he went back down."

He added that it was "very scary."

Robert was taken to the hospital and was released hours after the incident.

The 31-year-old pitcher was taken in the 21st round of the MLB Amateur Draft in 2017 by the Texas Rangers. He made four appearances for the Rangers in 2024. He had six strikeouts in 5.2 innings.

Robert was traded to the Phillies in April 2025 for minor leaguer Enrique Segura. He made 15 appearances for Philadelphia, striking out 15 batters and allowing seven runs – six earned – in 13 innings.

The college football season might be over, but a hard hit in a baseball game between the Central Michigan Chippewas and Toledo Rockets that may have filled that void for a few moments.

In the top of the seventh inning, Rockets outfielder Luke Walton hit a dribbler back to Chippewas pitcher Max Hammond. Walton blazed down the first base line, trying to avoid a tag or at least get to the bag before the pitcher threw it to the first baseman.

Hammond came down the line and pushed Walton down. The tag was made, but Walton took exception to the shove. He got back up and addressed Hammond face-to-face. The two players had to be held back as both benches spilled out onto the field.

As the dust cleared, Hammond and Walton were both ejected. The coaches didn’t address the situation after the game.
