When Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Wade Miley was warming up for his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers last Sunday, he felt the same strain in his neck that he had been pitching with over the last few weeks.
Looking back, Miley said he probably should have stopped warming up. Instead, he pitched through it and allowed six runs over three innings. Even after, Miley tried to keep going, and he threw a bullpen on Friday hoping that he could make his scheduled start on Monday.
