Just received word here in the press box that veteran reliever Tom Gordon left his rehab appearance tonight in Florida with discomfort in his right elbow. It is apparently serious enough that the righthander will fly back to Philadelphia and see team doctor Micahel Ciccotti tomorrow. Gordon had been attempting to battle back from elbow inflammation.
Hat tip to David Murphy. Gordon was down in Clearwater trying to get back into major league form while on the disabled list, but it looks like his 40 year old right arm is progressing slower than projected. July 7th and counting…
