Orioles
prospect right-hander Dylan Bundy paid a visit to Dr. James Andrews today about
his forearm/elbow and while surgery wasn’t required, he’s still a long way from
getting back on a mound.
According
to Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com, Bundy will be shut down for the next six weeks
following a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. The 20-year-old has been
diagnosed with right flexor mass tightness in the area where the forearm meets
the elbow. An earlier MRI on his elbow came back clean, so the source of his
injury is believed to be in the forearm area.
Bundy will
remain in Sarasota, Florida during the rehab process. It’s always possible that
the PRP injection won’t work out and surgery could be explored, but the Orioles
will hope for the best with the talented young hurler.
Bundy, the
No. 4 overall pick of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, has dominated the
minors to the tune of a 2.08 ERA over 23 starts and made two scoreless
appearances with the Orioles down the stretch last season. Baseball America
ranked him as the game’s No. 2 prospect behind the Rangers’ Jurickson Profar in
February.
