BALTIMORE -- New York Yankees rookie starter Chad Green is out for the rest of the season with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and a strained tendon in his right elbow.Green will go for further tests, but at the moment he believes he may avoid Tommy John surgery.From what I know now, it is not worst case, Green said.Yankees manager Joe Girardi does not yet know whom will take Greens spot in the rotation. The candidates to start next Wednesdays game against the Blue Jays are reliever Luis Severino and Triple-A starter Bryan Mitchell.Girardi is going to see if he uses Severino out of the bullpen the next few days before making a decision.We are going to play it by ear, Girardi said. Green becomes the second Yankees starter to have his season finished by an elbow injury.Nathan Eovaldi went down last month and is expected to miss all of next season as he required two surgeries, including Tommy John.Green is hoping to avoid a similar fate, but it is not fully clear yet if he will be able to because of the nature of the elbow injury.Whenever you hear that, you are concerned, Girardi said.Green, 25, was 2-4 with a 4.73 ERA in 12 games, including eight starts. He was acquired by the Yankees, along with fellow rookie starter, Luis Cessa, for reliever Justin Wilson last winter.

The Phillies have dropped eight of their last nine games at home to Washington.Nine hits in a three-game series isnt going to cut it, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said.

Regular closer Mark Melancon got the night off.The Nationals went ahead in the seventh. Anthony Rendon doubled with two outs. Morgan looked like he had Ramos struck out, but home plate umpire Mark Carlson didnt call a borderline 0-2 pitch a strike. Ramos battled back before eventually lining a 3-2 pitch into right field to score Rendon and end the night for Morgan.MORE ON MORGANMorgan gave up ttwo runs and three hits while striking out five and walking none in 6 2/3 innings.dddddddddddd He retired 13 straight at one point and produced nine groundball outs.

Ellis for helping him simplify the game plan.Hes very, very knowledgeable, Morgan said. I think it was great to see him over here, just to see how he works and how he goes about is business is very encouraging.Morgan possesses the longest losing streak in the majors. The last Phillies pitcher with a longer skid was Kyle Abbott, who lost 11 consecutive games during the 1992 season.WERTH GOES DEEPWerth gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead with one out in the first inning when he crushed a pitch 455 feet into the camera well in straightaway center for his 20th homer of the season.It was his eighth homer in August, tying a career-high.
