Westbrook Heading to L.A. to See Arm Specialist
Not a good sign for starter Jake Westbrook, who today will fly to Los Angeles to see arm specialist Dr. Lewis Yocum. Westbrook Tuesday was placed on the 15-day disabled list on due to a sore right elbow. Yocum is considered an expert in the field of ligament transplant surgery for pitcher’s elbows. He is also the team physician for the Los Angeles Angels. Westbrook had made just one start coming back off his last stint on the DL for a left intercostal strain.
