couple days gave respond
He didn't respond the way we thought he was going to. We gave him a couple of days and we gave him an injection. It didn't make a difference.
area last similar
He didn't even want to try another pitch, ... It's similar to last year's injury, but in a different area of the muscle.
cut deeper seem small
He got a small but significant cut on his throat. I don't want to over-dramatize it, but if it were a little deeper and a quarter-inch over, it would have been over his carotid artery. It didn't seem like much, but it could have been pretty bad.
bone discomfort except eye knew players spring took
He does have bone chips. We knew that after he took the MRI during spring training. He does have it, and he's going to have intermittent discomfort with that. A lot of players have those ... There's nothing we can do except keep an eye on it.
barry came good help knee knows month pleased tells
We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.
age age-and-aging eight last matter worked
We're going to go back to the things that worked the last eight years. No matter what age a person is, he still has to go out and run.

absolutely ancient eight problems seven stuff
You always look at stuff like that, but that was seven or eight years ago. He's had absolutely no problems with that since. That's pretty much ancient history.
almost expect full motion pain swelling turn
The swelling was almost completely gone. He had full motion and no pain. That's all very, very positive. I really didn't expect it to turn around that quickly.
midst serious testing tomorrow
I don't know how serious it is. We're still in the midst of it. We're doing some testing and will know more tomorrow afternoon.
evaluate felt goes information left swing today took
He took a swing in BP today and felt a twinge in his left elbow. We're going to evaluate it as the day goes on. We don't really have any more information than that.
felt field threw today
He threw today in the back field and felt much better than yesterday.
came dugout himself injury tells unable
He said something to me in the dugout and wanted to go back out. It stiffened up out there, and he came in and immediately said he's unable to go. For Moises to take himself out of the lineup, that tells you it's a significant injury right from the beginning.
game good innings knee looked looks opening plenty soon time watch
His knee looks good. It has looked good for a while, so we'll see how he comes out of this and we'll get him into a major-league game as soon as we can. We'll watch him, but things are going the way we anticipated. He's got plenty of time to get his innings in between now and Opening Day.
