(Pitching coach) Vern Ruhle doesn't want him to throw too many pitches in an inning. That's what happened last time out. There was no physical problem. |
All of his soreness is muscular. He's had significant spasms. |
By definition, a strain is a tearing of tissue. There is tearing, to some degree. But it's not as if this thing [the tendon] is pulled off the bone in any way. That is not the case. But [the MRI exam] does show inflammation in that area. That's why the diagnosis of a strain was put on this. |
Definitely not at this point in time. |
He felt good. He has palpable soreness, but he really doesn't have any evident swelling. We'll progress him over the course of the weekend, with regard to his running, and see how it goes. |
He felt good. No problems at all. |
He had a little work here early with heat and massage. It's a lot looser than when he left yesterday. |
He hasn't played in the field in almost three weeks now. |
He is from time to time with physical activity getting some dizziness and loss of balance. He has yet to perform any baseball activity. |
He really didn't feel like he was getting loose to where he needed to be to throw live BP, so we just backed him down. He had (a similar problem) last spring. It's something that just worked itself out with some treatment and some stretching over the course of a few days. |
He said he definitely felt improvement over [Friday]. |
He said he felt good, a little fatigued at the end. |
He said he felt good. |
He said he felt great. We're going to progress through the week with a couple of side sessions and look at throwing a live BP next week. |
He should be finished with rehab by the end of October, |
