Tigers' Adam Ravenelle: No ligament damage to elbow

Ravenelle underwent an MRI on Sunday that revealed no ligament damage to his right elbow, but he'll be sent to another doctor in the coming days for a second opinion, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Ravenelle was pulled from Saturday's Grapefruit League outing against the Yankees after losing feeling in his pitching fingers, but early indications are that he's avoided a significant injury. The young hurler previously required ulnar nerve transposition surgery in 2012, so it's possible that the setback he incurred Saturday could be related to that. While the Tigers don't seem to fear that Ravenelle will require a procedure to address the injury, it's conceivable that he could be shut down temporarily. The team isn't likely to offer up a firm timetable for the 24-year-old until after he receives the second opinion.
