LAS VEGAS (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Brian Fitzpatrick is seeking a second opinion after being diagnosed with a partial proximal sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow.
Fitzpatrick got injured while throwing a warmup pitch Friday night in a 9-7 victory at Colorado after getting called up from Triple-A Nashville earlier in the day.
The Brewers offered an update on Fitzpatrick’s situation before their Tuesday night game with the Athletics in Las Vegas.
Fitzpatrick had thrown a scoreless sixth inning in the Friday game at Colorado. He went back out for the seventh inning and got hurt during a warmup pitch.
The 26-year-old Fitzpatrick has gone 0-0 with a 1.35 ERA in five appearances with Milwaukee. He is 3-1 with a 1.13 ERA and one save in 15 games with Nashville.
