Shelby has strained tendon, partial UCL tear

PHOENIX -- D-backs right-hander Shelby Miller has been diagnosed with a strained flexor tendon and a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament.

Miller is evaluating his options, which include things like stem cell treatment, platelet rich plasma therapy and Tommy John surgery.

"News came back from all the doctors and I have a forearm flexor strain and a partial tear of my UCL," Miller said. "So just kind of gathering all that and seeing where I'm going to go from there. Still haven't made a decision on what I'm going to do yet. Just seeing all the options that are available and what scenarios are best for me and the team.
