Yesterday the Phillies announced that Roy Halladay will miss 6-8 weeks with a strained shoulder, but today the team revealed that Halladay got a second opinion on the injury from Dr. David Altchek in New York.
While not as well known as Dr. James Andrews or Dr. Lewis Yocum, Altchek is the Mets team doctor and has performed numerous elbow and shoulder surgeries on high-profile pitchers in recent years.
He did Johan Santana?s shoulder surgery in 2010 and just last month his second opinion on Twins right-hander Scott Baker led to Tommy John surgery after Minnesota?s team doctors recommended a far less drastic solution.
For now the Phillies have told reporters that Halladay will address the media Friday after meeting again with team doctors, which seems to suggest that some aspect of the situation has changed.
