Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that Zack Britton had to have an MRI done on Monday for his ailing left elbow after experiencing some pain in a bullpen session the day before. The Yankees didn’t think that it had to do with his UCL, but it still needed to be checked out.
The good news is that it is indeed not a UCL injury, but Britton does have bone chips in his elbow and will need surgery to remove them. The Yankees announced that Britton would return to New York tomorrow and would have the procedure done to remove them in the next few days.
