Scary scenes are coming out of the Phillies spring training camp. Relief pitcher Daniel Robert just went down during a bullpen session. No, it’s not related to any play injury, but seeing how he grabbed his chest before falling, it looks like his previous cardiovascular issue came back to haunt him again. And the last reported scene doesn’t suggest a positive outcome for the Phillies’ nation.

“Reliever Daniel Robert just went down during his first bullpen of the spring after grabbing his chest,” MLB insider Ty Daubert shared via X. “He suffered a cardiovascular event last year. He’s sitting up and conscious but surrounded by medical personnel.”

It was his first bullpen session of this year after his injury-laden 2025. If you remember, he collapsed in the same way last October when the Phillies staff sprang into action. It was a heart-stopping moment for the Phillies fans that time as Robert spent three days in the hospital. This time, the scene looks absolutely the same. However, Phillies trainers stepped onto the field, trying to stabilize Robert.

“Robert fell from his kneeling position to his back, where he remained for several minutes. When emergency personnel arrived, Robert was able to walk up a set of stairs to the vehicles. He appeared to depart the facility in a paramedic vehicle,” MLB insider Marcus Hayes shared. That’s surely a scary scene, although Robert is conscious as of now.

However, considering Robert’s previous history of cardiovascular events and just as the regular season is about to start, Phillies fans are in panic mode, and tributes are pouring in all over social media.
