No timetable for return of Kuroda, Kuo
僅節錄郭的部份
Kuo went on the disabled list Saturday after he was unable to throw a
catchable warmup pitch in the bullpen. Afterward, he conceded the elbow
discomfort he's been pitching with had worsened.
Kuo has undergone four elbow operations, including two Tommy John elbow
reconstructions. Conte said another operation is not planned. Arthritic
change after that many injuries is inevitable and he described the latest
episode as "wear and tear" that requires rest and rehabilitation.
"It's degenerative change," Conte said. "It flares up for no reason.
We've known about it all along. We know exactly what it is. He could
pitch with it, but there's no sense to go out with more discomfort.
There's not an outing where we didn't worry about it. He's done tremendously
well with it. He's gone through a lot. It's best for him to rest. He has a
resume full of MRIs. There's no plan for an injection. Hopefully it won't
be too long."
That is the hope. Of course, the club has known for years that Kuo,
more than any Dodgers pitcher in recent history, is one pitch away
from catastrophe. Conte said few appreciate Kuo's bravery.
"People don't know how tough he is," Conte said. "What he's been through,
coming in at 11 in the morning to pitch an inning. This guy is a pretty
incredible person to go through that. It's our responsibility from doing
too much. He'd go out with two bloody stumps. I wouldn't expect him to be
out a long time, but I can't tell a timetable."
