Roy Oswalt has left the Phillies for personal reasons

[TZ]

No details on this at the moment, but here’s Matt Gelb from the Philly Inquirer on Roy Oswalt:

A Phillies official says Roy Oswalt has left the team for personal reasons. No expected return date. Oswalt was not removed from the game for those personal reasons. He was taken out by Manuel because of his ineffectiveness.
There aren’t many things that could cause this that would constitute good news. We’ll obviously update when more is learned.

The story going around is that his families home town in Mississippi was hit by tornados. If this is the reason I hope everything is okay...
