Brewers' Chris Capuano: Dealing with elbow inflammation
Capuana's elbow injury is currently being classified as elbow inflammation, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Capuana initially felt the pain in his elbow during is May 20 outing, and felt it again after pitching against the Braves on Wednesday. It is a bit troublesome to hear that the left-hander experienced the same sensation during his second Tommy John recovery, although he did say no tests thus far have pointed toward ligament damage. He'll likely take some anti-inflammatories in the coming days and possibly even undergo an MRI when the club returns to Milwaukee, but it seems that Capuana has avoided a major injury this time around.
