Right-hander had heard a clicking sound during September

NEW YORK -- Scott Proctor visited a doctor in Tampa this week, concerned about
a possible bone chip in his right elbow.
His fears were quelled Wednesday, as an MRI exam, X-rays and a CT scan revealed
no damage to his arm.
"It's a relief," Proctor said in a telephone interview.
Proctor, 29, was examined by Dr. Andrew Miller, one of the Yankees' Tampa-based
physicians, on Monday. According to Proctor, the tests showed an old injury ne
ar his elbow, but he was told that as long as it doesn't bother him, it was not
hing to worry about.
During the final month of the season, Proctor heard an occasional "clicking sou
nd" in his elbow, leading him to believe there might be a bone chip. He spoke o
n Wednesday with team physician Dr. Stuart Hershon, who informed him that there
was no bone chip and that no surgery would be necessary.
The test results will be sent for a second opinion to Dr. James Andrews, the or
thopedist who typically handles all such matters for Yankees players.
Proctor plans to seek a second opinion in Miami for his own peace of mind, but
is confident that his arm is sound.
"I feel good," Proctor said. "This was the best news I could have heard."
Proctor was on track to become a starter for Triple-A Columbus during Spring Tr
aining before an injury to Aaron Small opened an Opening Day spot in the Yankee
s' bullpen. He remained with the team all season, appearing in 83 games.
The right-hander emerged as one of the most dependable members of the bullpen,
leading all Major League relievers with 102 1/3 innings pitched. He went 6-4 wi
th a 3.52 ERA and one save.
The 102 1/3 innings were his highest total since 2002, when he started 25 games
for Double-A Jacksonville, throwing 133 1/3 frames.
