Hellickson said he was feeling tightness in his back after Friday's start against Pittsburgh, but he doesn't expect it will force him to miss any starts, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson left an excellent start in the top of the seventh inning after feeling tightness in his back following an RBI double. The Phillies removed him largely as a precaution, particularly considering he would have had to run the bases following the hit. Expect him to make his next scheduled start Wednesday.

Hellickson was removed from Friday's game against Pittsburgh in the seventh inning after hitting an RBI double with an apparent back or oblique injury, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson was cruising before the injury, having allowed just one run on two hits over six innings. He needed just 84 pitches to get the job done, so he was certainly going to come out for the seventh or possibly beyond. Consider him day-to-day until the team is able to evaluate his status further.

Hellickson allowed three runs on six hits over five innings Sunday against the Nationals. He struck out one and did not walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson was making his fourth start against the Nationals this season. He allowed two home runs and has now given up seven homers in the month of May after allowing just two in the month of April. He also hasn't gone more than five innings in any of his three starts this month. He's scheduled to face the Pirates in his next start.

Hellickson allowed three runs on five hits over 4.2 innings in Sunday's win over the Nationals. He struck out four and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson struggled for the second outing in a row and now has a 9.35 ERA after two starts in May. He was 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five starts in April. He'll try to get back on track in his next start when he faces the Nationals again.

Hellickson was tagged with his first loss of the season after allowing six runs on eight hits over four innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He struck out two and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson had allowed only two home runs in April, but he gave up three bombs to the Cubs on Tuesday which accounted for five of the runs against him. The rough outing raised his ERA to 3.18. He will face the Nationals at home in his next start.

Hellickson (4-0) allowed a single run on seven hits while striking out just one batter during Thursday's win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson has been a great fantasy asset in three categories to start 2017. He's already picked up four wins and boasts excellent ratios (1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP). Unfortunately, the 30-year-old righty has only struck out 11 batters through 30 innings for a 3.3 K/9. Additionally, his 3.61 FIP and .196 BABIP suggest there are likely rougher times ahead.

Hellickson (3-0) allowed two runs on three hits while striking out five across seven innings to earn the win Friday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson gave up single runs in the fourth and sixth innings while the Phillies bats provided enough support to give him his third win of the season. Although it's based on a small-sample size, he's yet to allow more than two runs in any of his four starts while posting a 1.88 ERA to go along with a 0.71 WHIP, and he's certainly helping many fantasy teams get off to a similar strong start. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Marlins.

Hellickson allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two batters through seven innings during Saturday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

After leaving his previous outing with forearm cramps, this was a solid outing, and Hellickson certainly proved his health. He's nothing more than a mediocre fantasy asset in most settings because of his underwhelming strikeout returns. The 30-year-old veteran has just five punchouts through 17 innings this season and entered Saturday's outing with a career 18.0 strikeout percentage.

Manager Pete Mackanin said Hellickson (forearm) will be fine to make his next scheduled start, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson exited his start Sunday with cramping in his arms. He will face the Nationals in Washington in his next start.

Hellickson said he felt better shortly after leaving Sunday's game due to cramping in his forearms, Corey Seidman of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson left Sunday's game before the start of the sixth inning after he experienced numbness in both his left and right forearms. He believes the issue was caused by dehydration and is not anything serious. The Phillies have two of the next days off which could allow them to give Hellickson some extra rest if needed.
