MIAMI — Kyle Schwarber exited Friday's 8-2 win over the Marlins after his fifth plate appearance with a sore back, and while Rob Thomson said postgame that the Phillies aren't too concerned, the designated hitter will likely have at least Saturday off.
"Schwarber came up with a sore back. We'll have to reevaluate that tomorrow but I don't think it's serious," the manager said.
Thomson wasn't sure when the injury occurred but Schwarber felt it after his seventh-inning plate appearance, which resulted in a flyout to center field.
"I'm not sure," Thomson said. "The trainer came to me and said Schwarber's back a little bit tight and I said get him out."
The Phillies will be cautious, Thomson said, as they would with any injury to a key player at this point in the year. They're set to face left-handed starting pitchers on Saturday, Sunday and Monday — Jesus Luzardo, Braxton Garrett and Sean Manaea — so it's not the worst time in the world to be without Schwarber if he misses a day or few days.
He had a productive night prior to being pinch-hit for by Kody Clemens. Schwarber singled off Trevor Rogers to begin the game, improving to 6-for-14 with two home runs against lefties to lead off games this season. In the top of the fourth, he singled in Edmundo Sosa and Cristian Pache.
The Phillies went 3-for-18 with runners in scoring position but still won going away against a Marlins team that looks destined for 105-110 losses. The Phils have gone 6-1 since losing Trea Turner to a hamstring injury and now might have to play a few games without their normal one- and two-hitters.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
