Kris Medlen seeks second opinion Atlanta Braves right-hander Kris Medlen underwent an MRI exam Monday that revealed an "injury to the ligament" in his pitching elbow, according to general manager Frank Wren. Wren said Medlen will seek a second opinion. According to The Associated Press, he is expected to meet this week with Dr. James Andrews, who performed Tommy John surgery on the pitcher in 2010. "His MRI showed injury to the ligament, but we don't yet know the extent," Wren said in a statement. "A diagnosis would be premature at this point. He will undergo further tests until we seek a second opinion. An MRI can sometimes be inconclusive when a player has had a previous Tommy John surgery." read more http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10588754/kris-medlen-elbow-ligament-injury-mri-shows
