Gordon suffers setback Wednesday: Phillies setup man Tom Gordon left his rehab appearance for Class A Clearwater Wednesday with discomfort in his right elbow. He'll be examined by the team physician on Thursday. (Updated 08/06/2008).
Injury Report
Elbow - 15-day DL. Out until at least late August (Updated - 8/7/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Gordon made his first rehab outing Sunday and struggled. He allowed two runs in 2/3 of an inning. The Phillies weren't rushing Gordon back into action, but it appears as though he wasn't ready to resume baseball activities. He is old, an injury risk and not a candidate to close this season. Consider Gordon nothing more than a low-end middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men once he is healthy. (Updated 08/06/2008).
