MESA, Ariz. - Sonny Gray never figured the lat strain that has sidelined him the past two weeks was a major issue and he got the go-ahead to resume throwing after a visit to see specialist Dr. Anthony Romeo in Chicago.
“Everything looked good,” Gray said. “He said, ‘Go ahead and start throwing when you get back,’ so that’s what we’re going to do. We’ll see how it goes.”
“It was good news, definitely,” manager Bob Melvin said.
Romeo is best known for the “Peavy procedure,” which saved Jake Peavy’s career after a torn latissimus dorsi (back) muscle.
