ATLANTA (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes was put on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, two days after leaving a start early against the Washington Nationals.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Burnes is seeking a second opinion after having an MRI and had no definitive news Tuesday before the Diamondbacks played the Braves. Lovullo said the result “was not inconclusive. I just think there's other opinions that he wants to get.”
Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration.
Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. He is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 start
