PHILADELPHIA -- Class A Advanced Clearwater left-hander Matt Imhof suffered a serious eye injury last week in Florida.
Imhof, 22, had a freak accident during a postgame workout at Brevard County's Space Coast Stadium, the team confirmed. A resistance band anchored to the wall broke loose and damaged his right eye.
Imhof's agent, Adam Karon, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that Imhof had surgery.
The Phillies selected Imhof in the second round of the 2014 Draft. He was 4-3 with a 3.91 ERA in 14 appearances (nine starts) this season with the Threshers.
