Well I'm not watching tonight, but when I have watched I've seen him make all kinds of throws on difficult plays and he seems to make those with strength and confidence. It doesn't look like a guy who's affected by pain.
His motion is all wrong. I watched him closely Sunday vs the Orioles, and he was terrible in warmups trying all these funky motions. He had an easy double play and shot putted the ball over Espinosa's reach into right field, not a Zimmerman throwing motion at all. 100% certain he's avoiding pain with his motion, there's nothing else going on.
