The arm issues that forced Wei-Yin Chen out of the rotation and onto the disabled list could still be plaguing him. After a hiatus from throwing and several setbacks, Chen appears to have found a way to curb the discomfort he was feeling in his elbow.
He was pitching well before he was abruptly placed on the disabled list. What was supposed to be a short stay resulted in him missing the bulk of the season. On Monday, he made his first appearance in a Major League game since May 1st.
It was his first career appearance out of the bullpen.
