D-backs pitcher Archie Bradley to see Dr. James Andrews
The pain in Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley’s shoulder has gotten to a point that he’s never experienced before. He will be visiting renowned sports physician Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. Per MLB.com, Bradley said:
"The alarming thing to me is I haven't been through this before…I’ve obviously pitched through some soreness and fatigue and some bad feelings, but nothing ever to the degree of the pain I'm feeling now.”
The right-hander has been on the disabled list with a diagnosis of shoulder tendinitis since June 4. He started feeling pain following a rehab outing last Wednesday.
Bradley stressed how much pain his shoulder was in:
"It was really, really bothering me," Bradley said. "Too much to ignore, too much to not say something.”
Bradley has not been the same since being hit by a line drive on April 28. Though four starts, Bradley had an ERA of 1.80. Following his return, his ERA jumped up to 5.80 in his next four starts before going on the DL.
