Cole Hamels has a sore elbow, which is awesome news for Phillies fans. They probably won’t need a staff ace anyway. I mean, this is a team game, right? So yeah…he has a sore elbow and it’s not on his right arm.

“We do not think it is serious, at least at this time” Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “We thought it was important for Dr. Ciccotti to check him out and see if there is anything more serious than what we think it is. He’ll decide once he sees him tomorrow morning if he needs to do any testing or any further testing. We did do a physical on him before we ended up finalizing the multiyear deal with him and felt comfortable with the diagnostics and such. But he’s had a little persistent soreness and we want to be cautious about it and have him checked out.”
