After he took a baseball off his face on Monday night, we found out Tuesday that Phillies rightfielder Nick Williams has a broken nose.
Williams, 24, left last night's game in the eighth inning after a ball hit off the wall and struck him on his nose, which then began to bleed.
The Phillies are hopeful Williams will be able to avoid the DL.
