Right-handed reliever Shae Simmons will undergo a precautionary examination on his elbow after leaving Saturday’s game when he experienced stiffness in his forearm after throwing a fastball.
Simmons, 26, missed much of the last two seasons while recovering from reconstructive surgery — commonly called Tommy John surgery — on the same elbow.
"Given the history, obviously," he said, "but I’m not too concerned about it. I think it’s more muscle (soreness). If it’s more muscle, we can do the necessary steps to rehab it, strengthen it and get it back to where it was."
Plans call for Simmons to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam.
