Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran wasn't limping Saturday and said he feels "100%" after taking a comebacker off his foot during Friday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber.

Duran had to be carted off the field, but the team later announced X-rays were negative.

Duran was Philadelphia's marquee acquisition at the trade deadline, with the Phillies sending prospects Eduardo Tait and Mick Abel to the Minnesota Twins for the reliever.

The right-hander hasn't given up a run in four innings since joining the club. Duran entered Friday sporting a 1.86 ERA with 56 strikeouts in 53.1 innings on the season.

Veteran David Robertson entered the game in relief of Duran to close out a 6-2 Phillies victory.

Robertson, Matt Strahm, Orion Kerkering, and Tanner Banks would be among the candidates to save games if Duran misses extended time.
