PHILADELPHIA -- Jerad Eickhoff's return to the Phillies' rotation is on hold indefinitely.
Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said Monday at Citizens Bank Park that Eickhoff left Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Eickhoff felt "a little twinge" in his right index and middle fingers after throwing his curveball and a subsequent pitch. He has been recovering from a strained right lat sustained during Spring Training, which originally ruled him out six-to-eight weeks.
"We're going to evaluate him, halt the rehab program for now and do a little reading and reacting before we decide the next steps," Kapler said.
