Phillies: Ryan Howard's Condition Improving, Team Awaits MRI On Hunter Pence

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Phillies issued the following statement Tuesday from Ruben Amaro Jr.:

"After seeing the wound specialist in Philadelphia yesterday, Ryan Howard's wound has gotten smaller and is healing. We've been advised to limit his activities for one more week to allow it to continue to heal. We hope that he will be able to re-start his baseball activities thereafter.

Additionally, Hunter Pence will undergo a precautionary MRI on his left shoulder (non-throwing) here in Phoenix. We hope to have the results later this afternoon."
