Hellickson left Saturday's start because of soreness and bruising on the palm of his right hand, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson injured the hand when he was hitting and got jammed while fouling a ball off. The injury is not serious, but Hellickson said it made it a little tough to grip his curveball. It also doesn't seem like the injury should create any roadblocks to a potential trade by Monday's deadline. The Orioles, Pirates, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Dodgers and Tigers are among the teams that have been scouting Hellickson of late. If he is dealt, Jake Thompson will likely be promoted from Triple-A to take Hellickson's rotation spot.
