NorCalBBDad,
The diagnosis is: He IS INJURED! Needs rest & therapy for 4-6 weeks!
Please don't misinterpret what Doctor said! It may not "present" as serious, but if he's not 100%, he's HURT & it wll only get worse if not properly tended to!
My son is a pitcher. Dec 7, had surgery with 4 anchors to reattach Ulnar to the bone, wil be rehabbing till July, likely career just ended.
You just never know "how many bullets are in the holster"...
Cabbage & others KNOW & gave you very sound advice. If playing in college is of ANY importance to your son, be honest with coaches, follow Dr & therapy protocol to a T. There is WAY TOO MUCH at risk to consider any other alternative!
