The Oakland Athletics say that Jarrod Parker has re-fractured the medial epicondyle in his right elbow. Yesterday, Parker was forced to cut short his first session facing hitters after he yelled out in pain. While it was hoped that the problem was merely a lateral elbow impingement after he was able to still demonstrate range of motion, an MRI revealed the fracture. A's staff are evaluating Parker's next move.

It's a heartbreaking setback for Parker, who initially suffered the fracture during a May 8 start in the minor leagues while rehabilitating from his second Tommy John surgery.
