Mitre to be Evaluated By Dr. Andrews

mbaamin08 · March 12th, 2008, 12:30 PM

After experiencing some discomfort in his throwing arm, Marlins right-hander Sergio Mitre will be examined by Dr. James Andrews for further evaluation.

Mitre is getting a second opinion, according to his agent, Paul Cobbe. On Wednesday morning, Mitre was traveling to Birmingham, Ala., to visit the renowned orthopedic surgeon.

Mitre initially experienced forearm muscle tightness during his first Grapefruit League game, on Feb. 28 against the Orioles in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

On Tuesday morning, he threw off the mound for the first time. Mitre and Scott Olsen, who is nursing left shoulder tendinitis, both threw bullpen sessions. Both were slated to throw off the mound again on Thursday.

Now Olsen will continue his throwing program while Mitre is evaluated to determine the extent of his forearm troubles.

Entering Spring Training, Mitre was projected to be in the top of the Marlins' rotation. But his early arm troubles have kept him out of action.

"Mitre went to see a doctor," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said, not confirming it was Andrews in Alabama. "We'll wait for him to get back and see what the results are."

The latest setback pretty much ends any chance Mitre had of opening the season healthy. Now, until the results are in from Andrews, it is unclear if the right-hander will miss a small or major portion of the season.

I don't know about you but anytime I hear that one of our pitchers is going to see Dr. Andrews, I get a sick feeling in my stomach. Should we start a poll as to whether or not Mitre will have Tommy John surgery?

Too many Fish pitchers getting serious injuries the last couple of years. Something amiss.

Oh well. I'm sure some will blame this on Girardi too.
