PRP & Flexor Strain - Mariners place Drew Smyly on the 60-day disabled list
/
Smyly received a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection into the injured area on Tuesday morning. A PRP injection consists of taking blood from the patient, separating the platelets from the blood cells on a centrifuge and then injecting the concentrated platelets into the affected area. Smyly will have five to seven days to recover from the injection. He’ll then begin the rehab process in Seattle.
