Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (back) said he's still dealing with back problems Wednesday, May 15, and he was unavailable to throw Tuesday, May 14, and said his back felt "the same" Wednesday. He began having back spasms Sunday, May 12. "I'm playing it day by day and seeing how it progresses," Adams said. He's hoping he'll be ready to pitch this weekend.

Fantasy Tip: The Phils took a risk signing Adams to a hefty contract in the offseason after he underwent surgery to fix Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in his shoulder. Adams hasn't been the same since, and he hasn't thrown in five days. He's not nearly as effective as he used to be as a setup man with the San Diego Padres, and he's won't be challenging Jonathan Papelbon any time soon for ninth-inning duties.

Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (shoulder) said he won't rush himself back after undergoing surgery to fix thoracic outlet syndrome last year, the same procedure that St. Louis Cardinals SP Chris Carpenter (shoulder) was unable to come back from. Adams is on schedule this spring and has thrown off a mound three times, but he plans to delay his spring training debut because of the length of camp this year. He should make his first spring outing in the beginning of March.

Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (shoulder) is apparently doing fine after having surgery to fix thoracic outlet syndrome last October, the same injury and surgery that St. Louis Cardinals SP Chris Carpenter (shoulder) dealt with. "We've talked to him. He said he's doing great," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We'll find out more when he arrives in Clearwater, and I think he'll be arriving there fairly soon. He's been throwing off the mound and he hasn't had any issues. We'll see how far along he is, whether he's going to be behind in spring training or not. We don't think so. But we'll find out once he gets to Clearwater. Right now we don't have any concerns, but we obviously want to make sure that he's all right and progressing properly."
