"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Brandon Beachy is scheduled to visit Dr. Jame Andrews on Monday. (Rich Schultz/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Braves right-hander Brandon Beachy is scheduled to be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Monday after leaving his last start with tightness in his right biceps, the team announced Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beachy, 27, faces the possibility of a second Tommy John surgery, which would require a year of rehabilitation. He\u00A0had his first Tommy John surgery in June 2012 and another arthroscopic elbow surgery to clean out scar tissue last September. Andrews could decide that Beachy's elbow needs more time to recover before undergoing a third surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Between the two procedures, Beachy made\u00A0nine minor league starts and five MLB starts late last season. He was 12-8 with a 3.07 ERA in 2011-12 before requiring the first Tommy John surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beachy was more optimistic that he wouldn't require more surgery before tests this week revealed a possible ligament tear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the &lt;em&gt;Atlanta Journal Constitution&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CLot of frustration,\u201D Beachy said Friday. \u201CReally, really frustrated.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI was pretty confident when I talked to you guys after the game Monday,\u201D said Beachy, who had said after coming out of the game early that he wasn\u2019t concerned, that he\u2019d been assured his ligament was fine, and that he was only experiencing normal type of soreness associated with coming back from surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI was being honest,\u201D he said. \u201CThat\u2019s what I was told. Now, it looks like it could be something else. Got to find out more.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beachy won't be the only Braves pitcher visiting Dr. Andrews on Monday. Kris Medlen will also see the renowned orthopedic surgeon and has said he is already preparing himself for a second Tommy John surgery of his own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEWCOMB: Welcome to the MLB ballpark of the future&lt;/strong&gt;\nThe Braves attempted to compensate for a series of injuries to their staff by signing Ervin Santana to a\u00A0one-year contract\u00A0earlier this week.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
