David Phelps was forced to exit Wednesday's game against the Orioles after suffering the same elbow injury that put him on the disabled list earlier this month.
Fantasy Implications: On August 6, the 30-year-old right-hander exited a game against Kansas
City with an impingement of his right elbow that caused him to miss
over two weeks. Last night, Phelps departed in the sixth inning, signaling to the bench after yielding a two-out walk that loaded the bases. Manager Scott Servais said, “He felt the same thing on the last pitch that he made. He was trying to throw a cutter, and he felt it right there. He felt OK
earlier in the game. Its just the last pitch that he felt it.” Because rosters will expand to 40 players on Friday, Phelps will be able to recover without being placed on the disabled list, unless he is expected to miss the rest of the season. Stay tuned for further updates.
