He has some wear and tear in his left shoulder. He obviously irritated it again on that dive the other night against Japan.

He had some posterior cuff irritation that obviously we need to get evaluated.

The symptoms have significantly improved since Tuesday. Obviously, we need to have him symptom-free before he throws.

We kept waiting for him to show the wear and tear,

There are three ligaments around the shoulder area where he got injured and apparently if you tear more than one you have to have surgery to get back the stability in his shoulder. I know he tore one ligament, but he didn't need surgery and there were no fractures in there.
