Painter will be shut down for four weeks after being diagnosed with a proximal ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his right elbow.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI a week ago showed the issue, and it has since been confirmed following a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The hope is that Painter will be cleared to do some light throwing after the four-week shutdown period is up. For what it's worth, the 19-year-old righty told Todd Zolecki of MLB.com that it's a "pretty mild" sprain and he's "pretty confident" he'll heal with rest and rehab. Still, it's a major concern for the Phillies and to fantasy managers in re-draft formats who have already rostered Painter.
