Whenever Dr. James Andrews is mentioned regarding a sports injury, things become a little more real as to the severity of the situation. For Marlins reliever Drew Steckenrider, that could mean more extensive time on the Injured List and away from the team.
Steckenrider is meeting with the renowned orthopedic surgeon to get a second opinion on his right elbow that has forced the team to shut down the reliever until further notice.
“The 28-year-old setup reliever experienced some tightness in his throwing arm on May 6 at the Cubs, and he went on the injured list with right elbow inflammation two days later,” Joe Frisaro of MLB.
