Tom Glavine did light throwing in the outfield Tuesday for the third consecutive day without discomfort in his surgically repaired pitching shoulder. The 43-year-old left-hander plans long-tossing sessions from about 100 feet Thursday and Saturday, and if that goes well he’ll test the shoulder with a side session on the bullpen mound Monday.
“Then we’ll go from there,” said Glavine
Carroll Rogers has the pre-toss strategy from Glavine...
Glavine said Monday he is still in some pain in his shoulder, but expects to have that even if he rests all season.
He wants to get back on the bullpen mound by the end of this homestand and then he’ll have a better idea of what he’s facing.
Glavine had said two weeks ago after a visit to Dr. James Andrews revealed shoulder inflammation that if his shoulder didn’t feel better after two weeks, he might be to the point of deciding to retire. He isn’t quite there yet.
“I’m less emotional than I was two weeks ago,” Glavine said. “I waited two weeks, and if this is it, at least I’m confronting that feeling and coming to grips with those feelings. I’m more willing to look at it matter-of-factly that it’s worth it to give it one more shot. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
