False Alarm? Lyon will not need surgery.

Diamondbacks' closer Brandon Lyon visited Dr. Lewis Yocum for a second opinion on the "irregularities" noted in his elbow. Dr. Yocum confirmed what Diamondbacks team doctor Michael Lee had previously stated; Lyon's elbow will not require surgery.

Lyon stated that "Dr. Yocum kind of reassured me that right now it's nothing to take too seriously - just take a rest right now and let Mother Nature take over and see how I feel in 10 days." According to the D-Backs official site, Lyon will still be out for some time - he may be able to start playing catch in 10 days before starting a rehab assignment.
