Phillies' Padilla sidelined for a while

By
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA - An old problem has resurfaced for 27-year-old Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Vicente Padilla. He missed two months last season with triceps tendinitis, and an MRI confirms he has the problem again. He&#39;s expected to rest the arm for a couple of weeks at spring training.<br> <br> Padilla is slated to be Philadelphia&#39;s No. 2 starter, but manager Charlie Manuel said the team wants to make sure he&#39;s pain free when he throws and that the team would have to make an adjustment if he needs more time.<br> <br> If Padilla isn&#39;t ready, Gavin Floyd, Philadelphia&#39;s top pitching prospect, has the inside track to replace him in the rotation.
