[情報] Elbow pain ends Hampton's bullpen session
ATLANTA (AP) -- Mike Hampton's struggle to return to the Atlanta Braves'
rotation had another setback on Sunday when he felt pain in his left elbow
and had to stop throwing in the bullpen.
Hampton plans to fly to New York on Monday to see Dr. David Altchek,
the Mets' medical director. Altchek performed ligament replacement surgery
on Hampton's elbow Sept. 26, 2005.
Hampton strained a muscle in his left side last month, and the pain kept him
from pitching in a game during spring training. But the recurrence of
soreness in the elbow could be a greater concern.
After ending the bullpen session, Hampton met with team doctors before
Sunday's game against the New York Mets.
The Braves hope Altchek can determine the severity of Hampton's setback.
"We shut down due to discomfort in his elbow," Braves pitching coach
Roger McDowell said.
When asked if Hampton was frustrated, McDowell said "Probably so. I think
anybody would be."
Hampton, 34, was expected to join John Smoltz, Tim Hudson and Chuck James
as the leaders of the Braves' rotation. After Hampton strained his muscle
during batting practice in spring training, the team signed another
left-hander, Mark Redman, who struggled in Friday's loss to the New York Mets.
Hampton went 5-3 in 12 starts for the Braves in 2005, struggling much of the
season with a sore elbow that finally required major surgery. He is starting
the seventh season of a $121 million, eight-year contract he signed with
Colorado after the 2000 season.
