Phillies pitcher Jerad Eickhoff has had another health setback.

The right-hander was well on his way back from a strained right lat muscle when he had to cut short his latest minor-league rehab outing Sunday because of discomfort in two of the fingertips on his pitching hand.

The team and the pitcher had been targeting late May for a return to full action. The timetable is now uncertain as Eickhoff receives medical evaluation.

Eickhoff experienced a similar issue late last year and finished the season on the disabled list. The problem was called a “nerve irritation.” Eickhoff was said to be over the issue in spring training. Apparently he is not.

“Late in Sunday’s outing (for Triple A Lehigh Valley), he felt a twinge in his fingertips after delivering a curveball,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “He felt it on a subsequent pitch, as well. We are going to reevaluate him, halt the rehab program for now and do a little reading and reacting before we decide what the next steps are.”

As for other injured Phillies …

Shortstop J.P. Crawford took ground balls in Clearwater on Monday. He is recovering from a forearm strain.

Reliever Pat Neshek, recovering from a sore forearm, threw on flat ground Monday. Neshek has yet to appear in a game this season. He initially went on the disabled list with a sore shoulder during the first week of the season.
