Rogers rejoins team
posted in 2007 season, injuries |The Tigers did get some good news yesterday, at least. Kenny Rogers was in Detroit after the initial recovery period of his shoulder surgery went well. And not only was Rogers in Detroit — where he’s bound to make a quick impact on the young pitchers — he was able to throw the baseball for the first time since underdoing a procedure to remove a blood clot from this throwing arm.
“I’m not here to waste time,” Rogers said Friday evening. “I want to get ready.”
Rogers doesn’t have a set timetable of when he’d like to be on the mound for Detroit, but he does hope it’s before the All-Star break.
But I really don’t think it can be understated what having a veteran presence like Rogers can do for the young staff. Hopefully he’s got a few words of advice he can pass on to the bullpen, too.
