Bronx, NY -- (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino is day-to-day after taking an A.J. Burnett fastball off his right index finger in Game 5 of the World Series on Monday.

Victorino indicated he was ready to play Wednesday in Game 6, though manager Charlie Manuel said he will be evaluated before the game prior to making a decision.

"They checked him out. He's day-to-day," said Manuel. "He'll probably get in the ballpark early tomorrow, and when he first comes in, I'll go talk to him and I'll go talk to our trainer when our trainer comes in. I'll be there when they get there. They just said he's day-to-day, and they said he's going to have some soreness in his finger. We'll see."

Manuel said if Victorino isn't able to play Wednesday he'd probably start Ben Francisco in center field.

Victorino stayed in the game after being hit with the pitch in the first inning but went hitless in his next three at-bats while clearly favoring his right hand. He was replaced in center field by Francisco in the eighth inning.

The Phillies' No. 2 hitter in the lineup is batting .296 in the 2009 playoffs with three homers and nine RBI.

The Yankees currently hold a 3-2 series lead heading back to the Bronx.
