The news on Chris Archer could not have been any better for the Tampa Bay Rays as team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Koko Eaton confirmed the original diagnosis of lateral forearm tightness.
Archer exited in the first inning after allowing back-to-back home runs in his start on Saturday against the White Sox for precautionary reasons with forearm tightness.
On Sunday morning, Archer told reporters that he was feeling better. “I think, based off how I feel right now, I’m going to sleep fine [before Monday],” Archer said. “Last night wasn’t the greatest, but when I woke up this morning, I don’t feel any pain.
