Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller diagnosed with torn UCL
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Shelby Miller is evaluating his options after being diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow.
He's also dealing with a strained flexor tendon. We assumed the injury was serious when news spread of Miller sending his MRI results to Dr. James Andrews. Now Miller must decide whether to rehab his ailing elbow or undergo Tommy John surgery, which would sideline him for at least a year. The injury is a devastating blow for Miller, who had been aiming for a bounce-back season after disappointing in his first year in the desert.
Miller owns a 2-2 record with a 4.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 20.2 strikeout percentage in 22 innings pitched this season.
