Cliff Lee has not been cleared to start throwing and will be re-evaluated by the Philadelphia Phillies in three days as he still feel discomfort in his arm.

"It's definitely better than it was, but it's still there," Lee said. "It's a real small spot right on the edge of the bone where the flexor tendon attaches. When I have to turn (my arm) I can feel it.

"No sense in rushing it."

The left-hander was diagnosed with a Grade 1/Grade 2 strain of his left elbow and was placed on the disabled list last week.

"It's the first time I've had anything like this, and obviously I was hoping for the best," Lee said. "They did a couple tests and I can still feel it a little bit. They decided to have me wait and when I have no symptoms, I'll start throwing. I pretty much agreed with that, it makes sense. There's no sense in throwing if I can still feel it doing some of the tests they had me do."
