Carpenter Back On Track, Throws For 10 Minutes
Nov 3, 2014 6:15 PM
Chris Carpenter returned to a bullpen mound on Friday for the first time since experiencing a temporary setback in his recovery from nerve-related shoulder weakness.
The right-hander threw for about 10 minutes from a bullpen mound in 102-degree heat.
Carpenter, who was within five days of beginning a minor-league rehab assignment when confronted by renewed weakness last Sunday in Kansas City, said Friday he believes himself back on course.
"I think they have a little better feel of what's going on and I think the trip to Dallas was worthwhile," Carpenter said.
