Him taking swings in a college batting cage is a long way from doing baseball work with us, ... It's just another step in his rehab.

What that means in the greater scheme of things, I'll know more tomorrow. The knee was tolerant. He was sore in the obvious places, being the hands and upper torso. It's a good first step toward getting back to baseball activities. ... I'm presuming it's a baby-step type of thing.
