SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Kansas City Royals right-hander Henry Barrera received good news Saturday after an MRI of his aching elbow and should be able to resume throwing in two to three weeks.
The hard-throwing rookie, who missed most of the past two seasons after having Tommy John surgery in 2009, walked off the mound Friday with pain in his elbow after facing only one batter in an intrasquad game.
Barrera said Saturday the MRI revealed a bruise on the back of his elbow and a strained right flexor tendon, but no structural damage.
