Colorado Rockies closer Adam Ottavino dealing with multiple injuries

Adam Ottavino has something troubling in his elbow to go along with the triceps injury that landed him on the disabled list.

Adam Ottavino could be sidelined for longer than the Colorado Rockies initially expected when they placed him on the disabled list on Monday.

Ottavino on Tuesday underwent an MRI on his right elbow that showed inflammation in that area in addition to the triceps injury that landed him on the DL, according to Nick Groke of The Denver Post. It's unclear how long Ottavino will be out. The Rockies have placed John Axford in the closer role in his stead.
