Update (11:41pm): Via Chad Jennings, Hughes did pass all of the strength tests with the doctor(s) today, so that’s encouraging.
Original Post (10:30pm): Following tonight’s loss to the White Sox, manager Joe Girardi told reporters that Phil Hughes will undergo an MRI tomorrow “just to see what’s going on.” Why they didn’t bother to do this when he first went on the disabled list, I don’t know. Hughes experienced a setback during today’s bullpen session, as the right-hander simply said that his arm felt dead after ten or so pitches. Hopefully the MRI comes back clean, but I really wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t.
