[情報] Small step toward return for Dickerson

CINCINNATI -- The two surgeries were on his right hand and wrist, but
left-handed Reds outfielder Chris Dickerson still had a foreign feeling as he
started throwing a baseball again Tuesday.
"The first five throws were comical," Dickerson said with a laugh. "It was
the first time I threw a ball in three weeks. I was getting my release point
back and the motion. The balls were all over the place. It turned out all
right. The ball was actually coming out of my hand really well. It's a matter
of getting the strength back and squeezing the glove."
Dickerson hasn't played since April 29. On May 3, he had surgery to remove a
broken hook from the hamate bone in his right hand and an arthroscopic
procedure to clean out his right wrist. He has since had the cast and the
stitches removed and has been working on his range of motion.
"We underestimate the shock of catching a ball, that jolt back and
controlling the motion," Dickerson said. "The incision is still sensitive
when the ball hits the palm of my glove. It was just nice to be out there
doing baseball activity. I'm excited about that. It's such a small thing at
this stage, but we're definitely going in the right direction."
Dickerson, who was originally diagnosed to be out 4 to 6 weeks, didn't know
when he might start a rehab assignment in the Minors, but he hoped it would
be within the next three weeks.
"No clue -- it's the magic question," he said. "I should be swinging by the
end of the week, if not, next week. Hopefully if that goes well, they'll send
me off [to a rehab assignment] the following week."
