First Mets ace Johan Santana suffered from elbow problems, now it’s the Phillies turn to sweat a little bit.

They sent ace Cole Hamels back to Philadelphia to have his elbow checked out.

Although, they don’t believe it to be serious.

“He’s had a little bit of a persistent soreness in his elbow; we do not believe it’s serious,” Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “But at least at this time we thought it was important for Dr. (Michael) Ciccotti to check him out and see if there’s anything more serious than we think it is.”
