LOS ANGELES -- Chris Capuano will seek answers for the renewed discomfort in his left elbow in Milwaukee, where the veteran reliever is scheduled to visit with head physician William Raasch on Tuesday for an examination and potentially an MRI scan.
Capuano, a two-time Tommy John surgery patient, had been on track for a Minor League rehabilitation assignment before facing hitters in a simulated game Friday.
"It's not really in the area where the ligament is, it's more in the back of the elbow in the joint," Capuano said. "It was pretty discouraging. I had passed the bullpen test, but we got some hitters in there … and really the 'game speed' sliders are the ones where I felt it in the back of the elbow.
