Velasquez exited Wednesday's start after just two pitches due to an undisclosed injury, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
Details are still forthcoming, but it is not a good sign that Velasquez was forced from the ballgame after throwing just two pitches. According to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Velasquez's velocity was down significantly Wednesday as he only topped out at 87 miles per hour when he has averaged 94 mph on his heater this season. More information on Velasquez's injury will likely be made available following Wednesday's game, but if he has to miss additional time, it would be a significant blow to a promising young rotation.
