Hamels scratched from start tomorrow

[Xtreemes]

From rotoworld:

Cole Hamels experienced soreness in the back of his left shoulder while throwing in the outfield Tuesday and was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday night.
To replace him, the Phillies will start Jon Lieber against the Mets on Wednesday, with Brett Myers going Thursday afternoon. Hamels will return to Philadelphia on Wednesday for an evaluation. The Phillies certainly knew this was a possibility. Ryan Madson may have to go back into the rotation next time through. At least he's still stretched out.

very true, heard it a few mins ago myself...ut oh.........

Wow. I ended up missing out on the Hamels lottery in my league, but this pains me to hear it.

Injury concerns.....

[AKhomebrewer]

Already?

[gostanford07]

Uh oh.... better prepare for the mass suicide

[jdsun1]

Wow thats big news. I don't feel so bad either now.

Well good thing I wasted Ted Lilly for him, I guess I'm missing out huh? I know he's been injury laden for most of his minor league career but when he pitches he's on and he's staying on my roster that's for sure.

Hamels said he felt "a couple of pops" in his shoulder while playing long toss before last night's game against the Mets.
.......
Hamels, the Phils' top pick in the 2002 draft, has been plagued by injury throughout his career. He has had a strained elbow, a broken hand and a lower-back condition, but never a problem with his shoulder.

"I'm very concerned," manager Charlie Manuel said. "We'll have to see how serious it is."

Hamels, who had made two starts since coming to the majors earlier this month, was doing normal between-starts throwing when he injured himself yesterday.

"I kind of felt a couple of pops in my shoulder," Hamels said. "I've never had an injury there. I didn't want to take any chances, so we'll have it looked at.

"This is something I really didn't expect, because I had been training so hard to get to this level."

Doesn't sound good

[Kurtangletn]

Oh man I'm glad I didnt trade any of my starting staff, and have any ounce of hope in him.

Glad I got a deep staff, if he goes down even on a 15 stint I gotta drop him with Patterson and Coco and only 1 spot

"Pops?" That sounds like bad news.

Here's what I looked up from NIAMS.gov

What Are the Signs of a Torn Rotator Cuff?

Typically, a person with a rotator cuff injury feels pain over the deltoid muscle at the top and outer side of the shoulder, especially when the arm is raised or extended out from the side of the body. Motions like those involved in getting dressed can be painful. The shoulder may feel weak, especially when trying to lift the arm into a horizontal position. A person may also feel or hear a click or pop when the shoulder is moved.
