Tanaka (elbow) will travel to Seattle to see Yankees' team doctor Christopher Ahmad, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

Analysis:

All of the top orthopedic surgeons in the country are at a conference in Seattle this week, so this is where Tanaka will head for his examination. The right-hander hit the disabled list Thursday afternoon with elbow inflammation, but the exact extent of his injury remains unknown. The trip out west should provide further clarification.
