Projo SoxTalk with McAdam: Throw strikes, Dice-K! »
May 6, 2008
Curt Schilling made 25 tosses from a distance of 60 feet from 1:43 to 1:49 this afternoon at Comerica Park, the first time he has thrown a baseball this spring as he continues to rehabilitate his right shoulder.
The session went well. He will repeat the workout on Thursday.
"He did good. I don't think anybody was expecting him to not feel okay or we wouldn't have sent him out there," said manager Terry Francona.
"It's a good step for him. I'm sure he's excited. I think his throwing will help rejuvenate him for the things he has to do," said Francona, referring to the monotonous nature of the rehabilitation to get to the point to where he could play catch.
The plan is for him to keep playing catch until the medical staff thinks he's ready to progress to a more aggressive throwing program from longer distances.
Schilling was not around to talk about his workout.
