As long as he is in the lineup on a daily basis, I don't see the issue. After the season, we'll discuss the possible remedies, whether it be mass rehab or (surgical) intervention.

He's scheduled to have a quick doctor visit to get up-to-date with his inner ear issue. He's been doing his long toss, probably will start to graduate onto the mound and just go day-by-day on the basis of how he feels.

bit capable chance decision difference entire few given good last opportunity quite stage time turned
It turned out to be a good decision for him. We got a chance to see a little bit of what he was capable of last spring, but the difference this time is he's been given more of a stage to demonstrate his skills. He's been here the entire time and has had the opportunity to play in quite a few of the games. So, it's been a good opportunity for him to show what he can do.
