Robert, 31, was on the mound at Phillies camp in Clearwater, Florida, on Sunday, March 22, when he suffered a cardiac incident. Medical personnel used a defibrullator on him and immediately transported him to the hospital, where he is stable and alert, according to team officials.
Robert had yet to pitch in a spring training game after a cardiovascular issue was detected in his medical exams before the start of camp.
Robert, who posted a 4.15 ERA in 15 games for the Phillies last season, suffered a similar cardiac incident last October. Afterward, he credited the Phillies medical personnel with saving his life after they administered CPR and used an external defibrillator to shock his heart.
