Phillies left-handed ace Cole Hamels has a strained elbow and likely will miss at least two starts, offsetting the good news that second baseman Chase Utley will soon return from the disabled list.

Hamels will have an MRI exam and skip his scheduled start Wednesday against Los Angeles after complaining of persistent soreness in his left elbow, team doctor Michael Ciccotti said Tuesday night. The 23-year-old Hamels, who has pitched 167 1-3 innings this season, said he expected to miss at least two starts and go on the disabled list.
