Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman, in the face of what outwardly seemed like a setback with his aching right shoulder, was optimistic Friday that a cortisone shot earlier this week will get him back on a path toward a return and hasn’t altered his outlook that he wants to do the recovery right the first time.
“Part of the shot is it buys you time to take off,” Tillman said. “So you do the shot, and then you take five, six, seven days off. Obviously, we can do the exercises. I’m not sitting around for that amount of time.
