Rockies closer Adam Ottavino, who could be facing Tommy John surgery, is expected to receive "another opinion or two" on his injured right elbow, manager Walt Weiss told MLB Network Radio on Wednesday.
"Tough news for us and tough news for Adam, we still are getting another opinion or two, but doesn't look great," Weiss said.
Ottavino was placed on the 15-day DL last week with a right triceps injury. Weiss indicated that John Axford and Rafael Betancourt are two options for the Rockies in the ninth inning in Ottavino's absence.
"We have Axford and he's closed a lot of games in this league," Weiss said. "We still have Betancourt as well"
