Boston Red Sox right hander Clay Buchholz is the latest professional athlete to seek a second opinion for an injury. Buchholz is seeing orthopedist Dr. James Andrews today in Pensacola, Florida for a second opinion on a shoulder injury.
Buchholz has been diagnosed with irritation in his AC joint, a strained trapezius muscle in his neck, and shoulder bursitis. He last pitched on June 8th and was supposed to go through a brief rehab assignment before being returned to the roster. But the pain continued.
Red Sox manager John Farrell says Buchholz is obtaining a second opinion for ‘peace of mind’ to assure he can resume pitching safely.
