arm believe certainly clear hard hoping injury mph problem procedure serious somebody thinks throw
I certainly don't think it could be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe that somebody can throw 98 mph and have a serious arm problem. So I'm hoping that what Dr. Kremchek told us is right on. He thinks this procedure will clear up the longer-term problem after 50 or 60 pitches.

He's done a terrific job out of the gate not letting it bother him.
