Regarding PRP it should be noted that there is little evidence for efficacy of PRP. This means PRP might not be much better than placebo and rest. Now some suggest suggest it could have some positive effect but the data are not really strong.

So the big question is whether if the injury is something that could resolve itself with rest. Only a doctor can answer that. It feels that most guys in mlb who are treated conservatively will need TJ anyway but there are cases like tanaka who can avoid it for quite some time.
