Daily News | Phillies’ Andrew Painter has sore elbow, undergoes tests

Rather than going through his between-starts workday, the consensus top pitching prospect in baseball left BayCare Ballpark and went for tests. He didn’t return before the end of theThomson declined to expound on the type of testing that was being done but said the Phillies were awaiting the results.
“Maybe we threw too many fastballs, but he has a good fastball,” pitching coach Caleb Cotham said Friday before Thomson divulged Painter’s elbow soreness. “It was just him being him. We’re not doing a whole lot of gameplanning. It’s more just, ‘Go out and do what you do.’ You always could say, ‘Hey, we should’ve done this or that.’ But it was pretty good. He’s as advertised. And he’ll get better.”
“He’s got a live fastball. It’s easy,” veteran starter Taijuan Walker said. “And for him to be only 19 years old, too, it’s very impressive the way he carries himself, the way he goes about his business. He’s going to be really special.”
