After weeks of meeting with specialists to determine the cause of tingling in his right hand, minor-league pitcher Zach Lee was diagnosed with irritation in his right middle finger caused by poor circulation.
Lee will begin a throwing program tomorrow at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona and is expected to return to games in 2-3 weeks.
Lee, the Dodgers’ first-round pick in the 2010 draft, had a 5-3 record and 2.38 earned-run average in 10 starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He hasn’t pitched in a game since May 29.
