NEW YORK -- No one named Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth or Chase Utley limped noticeably, wore ice or had an MRI scheduled.

Ankles were said to be fine, as were necks, shoulders and backs, and the Phillies involved chalked it up to playing hard.

Rollins didn't seem too concerned with his left ankle after spraining it in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Mets, and he wasn't limping after the game.

He sprained it scrambling back to second on a phantom pickoff attempt by Mets pitcher Aaron Heilman. The reliever never threw the ball, but Rollins reacted to the actions of Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, who sprinted to the bag behind him.

"My cleat got stuck," said Rollins, who started every game for the Phillies last season. "I was more concerned about my knee popping if anything, but the ankle went. It's probably something day-to-day. When I first did it, I heard a pop and felt like somebody dropped a weight on my foot."

Eric Bruntlett replaced Rollins in the bottom of the eighth inning, but Rollins expects to start Wednesday night's game at Shea.

"I could've stayed in the game, but it wouldn't have made sense," Rollins said. "We've got a healthy guy on the bench and I'd be doing more to hurt my team than help."

Utley helped by getting in the way of pitches. He was hit three times -- twice by Oliver Perez and once by Scott Schoeneweis -- setting a franchise record and tying a Major League record. The last player hit three times was Nomar Garciaparra on July 3, 2006.

"None of them hurt too bad," Utley said. "You never want to get out of the way too often, as long as it's not going to hurt you too bad."

One of them hurt bad last season for the All-Star second baseman, who led the Major Leagues with 25 hit-by-pitches in 2007. Fans and teammates cringe when they hear the name John Lannan, the Nationals lefty who broke Utley's right hand, and forced the second baseman out for five weeks last season.

Utley doesn't think about that, and laughed at the improbability of being hit three times. He was plunked a fourth time when a throw to second by Carlos Delgado struck Utley in the right arm for an error.

Or was it his shoulder?

"I can't remember where each one hit me," he said, with a laugh. "It doesn't matter."

For the record, it got him in the arm.

The ugliest of the incidents was a collision involving outfielders Victorino and Werth, who pursued a fourth-inning fly ball hit by David Wright.

Neither could hear the other calling for the drive in the gap in right-center field. The 180-pound Flyin' Hawaiian snagged Wright's drive, then crash-landed into the 225-pound Werth, who couldn't slow down in time to avoid it.

"When you're 5-8 and 6-5, you know who's going to win that battle," Victorino said. "Obviously, he did. It was a play we both were aggressive on. In a place like this, when the ball is in the air, they get loud, he's yelling, I'm yelling, and I'm sure he couldn't hear me. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. I wanted to make sure I caught the ball."

Werth wrapped his arms around Victorino as they fell. He got up quickly, while Victorino remained on the ground, saying he hurt his neck. Manager Charlie Manuel and athletic trainer Mark Andersen tended to him, while players watched the instant replay on the scoreboard.

"It knocked the wind out of me," said Werth, who said such collisions will become less likely once they get used to each other's tendencies. Victorino is shifted to center field this season. "When I heard him say, 'My neck,' I was scared. You never want to hear that."

Within minutes, Victorino was on his feet and smiling. Both players stayed in the game and played large roles in the Phils' three-run, seventh-inning rally.

With no one seriously injured, jokes followed.

"[Victorino] didn't signal for a fair catch, so [Werth] tackled him," catching instructor Mick Billmeyer said.

A punt returner for his high school football team, Victorino said he "got killed once or twice like that. I was stopped a little short of the goal line."
