DENVER – Luke Weaver underwent an MRI on Monday and was diagnosed with a “right forearm strain,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said, a prognosis he seemed to frame as good news for the team’s talented young right-hander.
“We are very hopeful in feeling that it won’t require a procedure,” Lovullo said. “That’s where I’m at right now with the information I’m gathering.”
Still, Weaver is planning to seek a second opinion on the MRI results. Lovullo said team physician Dr. Gary Waslewski offered the initial opinion.
Weaver exited his start on Sunday in San Francisco with what the team had called right forearm tightness.
