NEW YORK, May 25 (UPI) -- New York Yankees reliever Rafael Soriano will be sidelined 6-8 weeks after being diagnosed with an inflamed elbow, the team said Wednesday.
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said an examination of the right-hander's throwing elbow by specialist Dr. James Andrews revealed an inflamed ligament in the same area where he had Tommy John surgery in 2004 and exploratory surgery in 2008, MLB.com reported.
