Jose Fernandez is headed back to Miami to be examined by a doctor after feeling stiffness in his right shoulder following Friday night's outing against the Atlanta Braves.

Fernandez is 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in six starts this season since returning from Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow.

"We want to get him seen," manager Dan Jennings said. "He's a guy who is coming off 14 months of rehab from Tommy John. As we do with any pitcher, we're going to make sure before we run him out there."
