JUPITER, Fla. — A familiar soreness in his right arm that Miles Mikolas pitched through at times last season returned in the first week of spring training and will delay his appearance in exhibition games, at the least.
Mikolas was removed from his scheduled throwing program after experiencing renewed discomfort in his right flexor tendon. It is the same tendon that he had addressed at the end of last season with a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection. The righthander had an MRI at the time to determine the integrity of his right elbow and the ligaments. Mikolas said he had an MRI on Saturday morning to check the soundness of his elbow.
