The Philadelphia Phillies have temporarily shut down Cliff Lee after the

veteran left-hander felt renewed discomfort in his pitching elbow.

The Phillies announced Sunday that Lee, who started only 13 games last season

due to an elbow strain, underwent an MRI on Friday.


The exam did not indicate any ligament damage, but the Phillies have decided

to scratch Lee from his next scheduled spring start Tuesday. The former Cy

Young Award winner is expected to resume throwing Monday, although the team

stated that his throwing program will progress "as tolerated."



"Any time it's the elbow, you have to be concerned," Phillies general manager

Ruben Amaro Jr. told reporters. "We have to be concerned because it's the

area he felt something before.

"We don't think it's acute, but we have to be cautious."

The Phillies also have sent the MRI results to renowned surgeon Dr. James

Andrews for a second opinion. Andrews is expected to review the results

either Monday or Tuesday.

Lee, 36, went 4-5 with a 3.65 ERA last year after pitching at least 200

innings in eight of the previous nine seasons. The four-time All-Star made

his spring training debut last Thursday, allowing two hits in two innings.
