Gore threw 37 pitches in a simulated game yesterday. Teams says if he feels OK after this, he will throw another sim game, and, if he's OK afterward, he will be sent out for a rehab assignment. All of that sounds like they hope to have him start for the big team, and at least once, My own hunch is they want Gore to start at home, the way they started Cavalli.
But that is an awful lot of test-and-if-OK points.
