There wasn't any point in this series where he had to overdo it with our bullpen. You couldn't ask for a better situation going into Colorado.

With everything we had going on (Wednesday), I didn't want to overdo it because I'm a firm believer that too much information too quickly can short-circuit people. We took it very slowly and made sure everything was understood.

You can overdo it. Normally we suggest doing it every other week.

We'll just see where he's at physically. If he gets to the point where he's physically able to pitch, yeah, there's some benefit to getting him out there before the season ends. Absolutely, there is.

We need a starter to go deep. It's been a rough series for the bullpen, but so far they've been up to the task.

He was already at the point of the game where we're going to go to the bullpen if anything happens. When we got out there he said his knee was burning. I don't think he re-injured it. He just had a lot of pitches and wear and tear from the game.
