PHILADELPHIA -- Curt Schilling's comeback from a serious shoulder injury has been stalled.
The veteran right-hander was sent back home to Boston, where on Wednesday he will be examined by team physician Thomas Gil.
Schilling threw last Friday in Cincinnati and was not encouraged by his progress. His session was termed "blah" by manager Terry Francona.
Schilling did not want to comment on his shoulder or anything else this afternoon.
"Nothing new to report. I'll let Tito (Francona) talk before I say anything," said an uncharacteristically tight-lipped Schilling.
Francona later talked about the immediate plans for Schilling.
"Hopefully he's just hit a plateau," said Francona. "It may be a bump in the road. We'll send him back to be examined before he does anything else. It has been a frustrating week for him. He's just kind of stuck. We'll just have to wait and see what the next move is."
Schilling was not available to talk after Francona's media session.
