No idea about the science behind it but I have a pull-up bar in my home office and it feels amazing to just dead hang off of it every now and then.
I tore something I believe in my shoulder last summer playing tennis. Some pain at leisure. Only hurts when playing when serving or on an overhead. Any hoo I thought being laid up from playing tennis with my hand surgery might help but after a couple weeks actually feels worse. Have been trying to get back into stretching so maybe that will help some for the oain at night when I sleep on that side? Maybe hanging from a bar would help also. It’s a nag getting old but beats the alternative.
Phrases I'm beginning to hate: "Shoulder / neck impingement," "felt something in his elbow area," "shoulder soreness," "shut down for a few days," "awaiting the results of an MRI," ...
Abrams has been dealing with some tightness in his back since Tuesday, when he last played in a game against the Mets in Port St. Lucie. Both he and manager Dave Martinez downplayed any concern about the situation, saying that Abrams could play if needed. The 22-year-old Abrams is expected to participate in some baseball activities, including taking some swings, on Friday.“We don’t want this to be a bigger issue,” Martinez said on Friday. “So give him a few days, let him kind of recover a little bit and then he’ll probably do some baseball activity today and then we’ll get him back out there.”
Victor Arano’s shoulder impingement is expected to land him on the 60-day injured list alongside Cavalli (Tommy John recovery), Tanner Rainey (TJ recovery) and Stephen Strasburg (continued complications from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome), according to a person familiar with the situation.
You would think they would have had injury data from experiments in the minors, but it may be that younger pitchers are more resilient.
April 1: LF Corey Dickerson exits game with left calf issueDickerson will undergo a scan on Sunday after he exited Saturday’s game against the Braves at the conclusion of the seventh inning. Manager Dave Martinez said Dickerson’s left calf “tightened up on him.” Ildemaro Vargas replaced Dickerson in left field. If the Nationals need to call up another outfielder, one option is Stone Garrett, who is on the 40-man roster and in Triple-A Rochester.
I heard a theory on Sports Radio that the new pitch clock can be detrimental to pitchers! You’re throwing high velocity pitches and have very little time for your arm to rest before the next pitch! It was predicted that this would result in pitchers barely lasting the required 5 innings before they are pulled! Relying more on relievers! Fewer complete games, much less than lasting 7 innings! It makes sense to me! Could lead to more injuries too!No time to recover from the recoil!Btw I counted 17 pitchers on the 2023 injured list BEFORE CADE got hurt!
Dickerson to the 10 day IL, Stone Garrett recalled.
Garcia day-to-day with a hamstring pull.
