![We want [pitching coach] Larry Rothschild to evaluate his arm strength and go from there. We will have more of a feel within the next week for how far we are before he throws on the mound. His long toss will be with a fair amount of intensity, but we are concentrating now on the volume of throws rather than the intensity. - Mark O'Neal Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=V2Ugd2FudCBbcGl0Y2hpbmcgY29hY2hdIExhcnJ5IFJvdGhzY2hpbGQgdG8gZXZhbHVhdGUgaGlzIGFybSBzdHJlbmd0aCBhbmQgZ28gZnJvbSB0aGVyZS4gV2Ugd2lsbCBoYXZlIG1vcmUgb2YgYSBmZWVsIHdpdGhpbiB0aGUgbmV4dCB3ZWVrIGZvciBob3cgZmFyIHdlIGFyZSBiZWZvcmUgaGUgdGhyb3dzIG9uIHRoZSBtb3VuZC4gSGlzIGxvbmcgdG9zcyB3aWxsIGJlIHdpdGggYSBmYWlyIGFtb3VudCBvZiBpbnRlbnNpdHksIGJ1dCB3ZSBhcmUgY29uY2VudHJhdGluZyBub3cgb24gdGhlIHZvbHVtZSBvZiB0aHJvd3MgcmF0aGVyIHRoYW4gdGhlIGludGVuc2l0eS4g&author=ICBNYXJrIE8nTmVhbCAgICA=&num=2 "We want [pitching coach] Larry Rothschild to evaluate his arm strength and go from there.

![You think of fractures and cracks, and think four to six weeks [for recovery], and that's not what we're dealing with here. As soon as this calms down and he's OK with it, you let him go back out there. The risk is -- and the reason we're doing this -- you don't want to run the risk of rupturing his patellar tendon because that's what attaches down there. To call it a fracture is a huge stretch. - Mark O'Neal Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBNYXJrIE8nTmVhbCAgICA=&num=6 "You think of fractures and cracks, and think four to six weeks [for recovery], and that's not what we're dealing with here.
