The original MRI on Quinn's left elbow revealed an injury to the ulna collateral ligament. There is no clear indication of how long he will need to recover fully. A ruptured UCL would require Tommy John surgery.

Quinn, 24, is hitting .274 with a .344 on-base percentage in 45 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He injured his elbow diving into third base last week.
