-- Jenny Dell thanked supporters on Sunday for their concern after her husband, Will Middlebrooks, broke his leg during a Phillies Spring Training game on Saturday.

“Blown away by all the love and support for @middlebrooks! Every text is appreciated, every tweet is read! Thank you to all who have reached out!! He’s a fighter and I have no doubt that he will come back stronger than ever,” Dell tweeted.

The former Red Sox infielder was carted off the field after colliding with teammate Andrew Pullin in the outfield while trying to catch a fly ball.

Phillies manager (and a former Red Sox player himself) Gabe Kapler said Sunday Middlebrooks had broken his left fibula.

Middlebrooks also tweeted about the injury on Sunday:

“I just want to take a sec to thank everyone for the outpouring of support... really tough time for me, but it will pass. I can’t wait to get back on the field with this squad... there’s definitely something very special happening in our clubhouse.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "It was a swing in open cage. I wish I had some information. But it's kind of seeing what happens day to day. Seeing if things get better. Seeing how it feels when we come in every single day. But doing a bunch of treatment, doing as much as I can to get out there as soon as possible." -- Red Sox prospect Michael Chavis, on suffering an oblique strain
