Reds second baseman Bret Boone was sent back to Cincinnati for further examination after X-rays found a bone chip in his throwing elbow.
“There’s a lot of swelling in the tendons,” trainer Greg Lynn said. “There’s a possibility it could be treated conservatively and there won’t be a need for surgery.”
Boone felt a pop in his right elbow during batting practice Tuesday, and the elbow was severely swollen a day later.
“If it was the regular season and I had to play, I could,” said Boone.
