Wainwright (elbow) had a doctor's appointment scheduled for Sunday, during which he was expected to get further information on when he'd be cleared to begin a throwing program, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wainwright has been on the disabled list since Aug. 18 and was restricted from throwing for 10 to 14 days following a platelet-rich plasma injection the following day. While he's yet to reach that time window, the veteran was hoping to gain a more definitive date on when he'd be cleared to take the next step. The results of Sunday's appointment weren't immediately available, but further clarity on his status should be available in the early portion of the week.
