coming far month week
One day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. That's how we're going to do it all year. We're not going to try to look too far ahead. Each day he's going to come in and tell us how he's coming along.
expect game missed spring training whether
I think we're going to take one day at a time. I think that if he does what we expect him to do this year, no one's going to look back and say whether he missed a spring training game or not.
afford anticipate battling regular season week
He's been battling it for a week to 10 days. We don't anticipate it being a big issue. If this was the regular season you wouldn't even know about it. With an off-day and everything, we could afford to give him some rest.
fairly himself tells
For Moises to take himself out the lineup tells you it's a fairly significant injury.
If this were a regular-season game, he could probably play.
expect full gone hoping medication morning motion swelling turn
He was put on anti-inflammatory medication and this morning he is much, much, much improved. . . . The swelling was completely gone and he had full motion and no pain. I really didn't expect it to turn around that quickly, but that's what we were hoping for.
fact morning regular today
He was put on anti-inflammatory medication, and this morning he is much, much, much improved, and in fact probably could play today if this were the regular season.
came decided gave healing respond
He didn't respond the way we thought he was going to. We gave him an injection that didn't make a difference. He came in (Thursday) and he couldn't do anything comfortably. We decided to give him some healing time.
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.
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.
good innings knee looked opening plenty time
His knee has looked good for a while, and things are going the way we anticipated. He has plenty of time to get his innings in before Opening Day.
