More on Proctor -- Scott Proctor, who is scheduled to see Dr. James Andrews in Alabama on Monday, said he'll have many a sleepless night between now and then and admitted to fears that he might require Tommy John surgery for his ailing right elbow. "If I have to have it, at least he's the guy to have it done with," Proctor said of Andrews. -- Andrew Miller (right oblique muscle) went four innings and threw 60 pitches in a rehab start for Single A Jupiter on Wednesday. He gave up a run on three hits, struck out five, and walked one. He'll pitch next for Double A Jacksonville on Monday. -- Rick VandenHurk completed another bullpen session on Wednesday and said he expects to face live hitters in Jupiter within the next three to four days, with a rehab start possibility on next week's agenda.http://miamiherald.typepad.com/fish_bytes/
