Overview
- President of baseball operations Mike Elias said imaging showed a partial UCL tear in Westburg’s right elbow.
- Westburg received a PRP injection on Friday and will not undergo Tommy John surgery at this time.
- He is ruled out for all of April, with any timeline beyond that dependent on how the elbow responds.
- Elias said the elbow issue surfaced while Westburg was throwing during rehab for his earlier oblique strain.
- With Westburg and Jackson Holliday set to start on the IL, Coby Mayo and Blaze Alexander are the leading internal options to cover third and second base.
