Phillips (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for a few weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache for a second opinion on his elbow Thursday and received relatively good news, but he's still about a month away from being cleared to pitch. The 25-year-old was attempting to secure a spot in the Opening Day bullpen, but he's now unlikely to see game action until mid-April.
