Tim Wakefield remains on track to start Monday, and the strength in his
problematic left leg is actually improving slightly.
Wakefield demurred when team trainers wanted to test the strength in his leg
Saturday, but they pressed the issue, and the reading actually came out
positive.
"He didn't know if he wanted to know the number, just in case it didn't
improve -- and the strength did improve, so that's good," manager Terry
Francona said.
Wakefield, 43, is trying to pitch through a herniated disk in his back, which
is putting pressure on the sciatic nerve and sapping the strength in his left
leg. He is expected to require surgery to repair the bulging disc at some
point. The fact that the tests are showing some improvement at this point is
a promising sign, as it was entirely possible that the results would have
returned a gradual decline in strength, perhaps requiring him to skip the
Monday start.
"As long as he's showing some improvement, let alone staying the same, that's
really good news," Francona said.
Wakefield, a first-time all-star, has an 11-4 record and a 4.22 ERA on the
season.
Wakefield is not expected to remain in the rotation after his outing , and
his spot start will serve largely as an off-day for the rest of the rotation,
allowing some other starters an extra day of rest
明天可能跳過先發(?),但是之後要開刀解決坐骨神經痛的問題。
