Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar will have a precautionary MRI on his throwing elbow Tuesday morning.
Salazar was hit hard in his start on Monday against the Minnesota Twins, surrendering six runs in two innings. It was another rough start in a rough stretch for Salazar, who has been feeling discomfort in his elbow.
After the game, Indians manager Terry Francona said the club is having Salazar undergo an MRI to see if they can identity an issue.
“He obviously doesn’t look like himself the last couple games, so what we’re going to do is we’re going to get him looked at tomorrow, mostly, I hope, just for his peace of mind,” Francona said.
