Last week, we found out that following a throwing session, Cliff Lee felt discomfort in his throwing elbow. On Tuesday, Ruben Amaro Jr. broke the news about Lee and his torn tendon in his elbow, revealing that the team wasn't terribly optimistic about his future.
On Wednesday morning in Clearwater, Lee resumed throwing and spoke to the media following his session, updating us on the status of his elbow.
"I got through it," Lee said following Wednesday's bullpen session. "There's still something there. Same as yesterday."
"If it starts to progress worse, then obviously that's a pretty telling sign," he said. "If it maintains how it is, then I'll keep going." [Phillies.com]
Lee's contract is up at the end of the year and includes a $12.5 million buyout on a $27.5 million club option for 2016.
