We caught J.J. Putz heading out of the clubhouse Friday morning with a neoprene sleeve on his right elbow. His destination? The doctor's office for an MRI on that elbow, which tightened up on him about 30 minutes after he threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Thursday.
Putz said the exam is precautionary but no three letters can worry players more than M-R-I. He said he is beginning to be concerned that he won't be ready for the start of the season. Putz has not pitched in a spring training game since March 5, his only appearance besides pitching in the Mariners' charity game against San Diego on March 1.
He said he has not experienced this type of sensation before. He said his elbow is not swollen or inflammed but just tight.
