An examination showed that Mathieson had strained his surgically repaired right elbow. He has rested for the last two weeks and will begin a throwing program today. The goal is to have him pitching to hitters by mid-March, the Phillies said.
Mathieson, who had elbow surgery in each of the last two Septembers, is still hoping to pitch in the minors, in Reading or Lehigh Valley, by the start of the season.
"I want to spend the least amount of time I can in Florida," said Mathieson, who has spent much of the last year and a half rehabbing in Clearwater.
Mathieson, 23, was so faithful to his rehab program that he sought out a high school catcher and pitched a bullpen session on his honeymoon in Hawaii last month.
His wife, Jen, sounds like a keeper.
Still, manager Charlie Manuel loves the sink on Kendrick's fastball. "Everything comes in nose-down," he said.
Manuel was impressed with lefthander Jamie Moyer.
"He was carving them up, putting the ball right where he wanted to," Manuel said.
"The only thing I've got to say about that is we'll let our Louisville Sluggers talk," Manuel said.
