McFarland experienced elbow discomfort during Sunday's Grapefruit League game and will have an X-ray taken Monday, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

McFarland allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in 1.1 innings Sunday. He said he believes the discomfort was a muscle issue rather than a joint issue. These would be two very different sensations and there is no doubt a muscle issue gives McFarland a much better prognosis than a joint issue. Brian Matusz (back) has also been hurt and it was thought McFarland could jump into the bullpen mix. A Triple-A assignment is also in the mix.
