Phillies' Jerad Eickhoff: Tingling sensation lingering

Eickhoff (lat) is still experiencing a tingling sensation in his fingers while he pitches, The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

The sensation had caused him to get shut down twice earlier in the season, though he has been pitching through it this time after a mid-July cortisone shot lessened its impact. The issue is caused by the median nerve in his right wrist being compressed -- also known as carpal tunnel syndrome. It didn't prevent Eickhoff from making the fourth start of his current rehab assignment Sunday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, with the 28-year-old tossing 4.2 innings of one-run ball while striking out five in a 77-pitch outing. Eickhoff hopes to return from the 60-day disabled list in September, potentially in a bullpen capacity. He'll be re-examined in the offseason and may require surgery at that point.
