Shelby Miller to see Dr. James Andrews about elbow injury
Andrew Villa / USA TODAY Sports
The outlook for Shelby Miller's elbow appears increasingly grim.
The Arizona Diamondbacks starter is set to see renowned Tommy John surgeon Dr. James Andrews for a third medical opinion on the injured joint, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.
Miller received a second opinion on his right elbow Tuesday after being placed on the 10-day disabled list a day prior with what the team described as inflammation.
General manager Mike Hazen doesn't want to jump to conclusions about what's ailing the 26-year-old pitcher.
"I don't want to speculate," Hazen told Gilbert. "I want to get all the information first. Then we'll have more of a comment on it after that."
