How to handle communications on injury

Just let them know. And let your son rest.  

Save it for when it counts.

Hope he feels better.

How's that machine you have doing?

As an old mentor in the workplace used to say, "When in doubt, tell the truth." Situations like this one always bring that adage up for me.

First of all, a player has nothing if not his health; so, your efforts to see that he receives top-flight medical attention is Priority 1. Then, he needs to make certain that he follows the physician's/physical therapist's rehab instructions to the letter.

Meanwhile, I'd be upfront and honest with recruiters and/or scouts about his reason for not pitching and related condition. They all know and understand injury; and the last thing they want to deal with is a situation where a player's been evasive, causing them to wonder, and then find out after the fact that he's tried to hide his injury from them.

Best wishes to your son for a full and speedy recovery!

I would think worse yet is to have the coaches/recuiters show up and he's not there. They could use the time for something else.  A strained muscle is no big deal and should concern nobody longer term.  Good luck. 

I always agree with the direction of doing the right thing, communicating and being truthful.  I also agree with Golfman that a strain won't raise any red flags.  In fact, in this situation, telling them the details eliminates possibility of them assuming something more serious.

Actually, the Marcpro has been unbelievable. Always feels fresh, even the day after throwing 80+ pitches. Haven't had as much as soreness at any time this year. However, he looks a little funny when he flexes as his right bicep is considerably larger than his left. Looks a little ridiculous, actually.

However, I couldn't convince him to put it on his butt this week.
