Kid has a bone bruise. Took a fastball just above the wrist a couple of weeks ago. Slowly healing. For most activities it doesn't bother him anymore. But when he swings the bat all out, shooting pain that last through the rest of the AB and subsides afterwards. Really slowed him down during the Arizona Senior Fall Classic -- which is really too bad, since he had been really raking before then. Bad, bad timing -- especially since several schools came to check him out. Not much we can do about that now, I guess. Doctor says it will heal with rest. Wouldn't give a precise timeline, since varies a lot from individual to individual and the severity of the bruise. "Few weeks to a few months"
