PHILADELPHIA -- Ryan Church left Saturday's game against the Phillies with dizziness, it was reported by MLB.com. He was replaced in right field by Endy Chavez.
Church recently came off the 15-day disabled list after battling post-concussion syndrome, which dated back to a May 20 game in Atlanta, getting a knee in the head after trying to break up a double play.
Since coming off of the DL against the Yankees, Church had played in all four games in St. Louis, hitting safely in each, but got a day off on Friday against Philadelphia, which manager Jerry Manuel said was to protect him from facing another left-handed pitcher, the Phillies' J.A. Happ.
Church batted 1-for-3 on Saturday before being pulled in the eighth inning. He was hit by a pitch earlier in the inning.
