Indians starting pitcher Cody Anderson has a mild strain of the UCL in his right elbow after experiencing some discomfort last week.
The Indians are currently seeking a second opinion before deciding on Anderson’s rehab program and expected time table relative to his return to throwing.
“He was going to be down from throwing for a little bit anyway, so there’s no immediate rush, but for his sake you’d like to get it looked at again,” Indians manager Terry Francona told reporters in Goodyear, Ariz.
Anderson was working his way back from an arthroscopic debridement procedure that he underwent in Nov.
