SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez is going to get a second opinion on his right elbow before deciding his next step. Gonzalez was diagnosed with a partial tear of the UCL on Friday by Dr. Keith Meister.
"Whatever it is, I'm going to be out six weeks at least," Gonzalez said. "I want to make sure, and I have the option for a second opinion. I'm going to wait for a second opinion just to get that through my mind and see what the next doctor has to say."
The Rangers' plan was for Gonzalez to receive a stem cell injection on Monday and be shut down from throwing for six weeks.
