The Phanatic Staff
The Phillies received another injury blow Tuesday night, as the club announced ace southpaw Cole Hamels will miss his scheduled Wednesday start against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a tender left elbow.
Hamels (14-5) was already pitched 167 1/3 frames this season, striking out 156 batters and posting a 3.50 earned run average. The southpaw last pitched on August 16 against Washington, winning the game with 6 2/3 scoreless frames.
The Phillies staff ace will undergo a precautionary MRI on Wednesday.
Team doctor Michael G. Ciccotti also updated the injury status of several other injured Phillies. Second baseman Chase Utley hit off a tee Tuesday and will begin a rehab assignment in the coming days with a targeted return sometime next week. Outfielder Shane Victorino could be back with the big club sometime later this week, according to Ciccotti, and Michael Bourn is still 2-to-3 weeks away from returning with a sprained ankle.
