"Hunter Harvey will restart his throwing program on Friday. Which is, again, technically good news, but it's a little unclear what sort of timeline he's looking at."
"Porter Hodge underwent his elbow surgery (UCL reconstruction), and his was more like Justin Steele (internal brace, 12-14 months) than Cade Horton (15-16 months). That's the good kind of bad news."
