TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees left-hander Zack Britton is not throwing because of a sore pitching elbow, was to be examined by a doctor on Tuesday and could miss the start of the season.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Britton's ulnar collateral ligament was not suspected of being hurt, which could require Tommy John surgery. Boone said Britton felt soreness Sunday night following a bullpen session and had an MRI of his elbow on Monday.
"I would say it's always concerning any time any of your players are going through tests because they're not quite where we want them to be," Boone said.
