Kelvim Escobar Update

Adam Rubin of the Daily News caught up with Kelvim Escobar. He says that he won’t pick up a baseball until he’s cleared by his rehab coordinator, but that he’s not worried and that he thinks it’s a weakness issue, not an injury issue. When asked if he’ll be ready for opening day he said “I think so. It’s all going to depend how my arm responds to the exercises and how quickly my shoulder gets its strength back.”

Everyone who has spoken since my report yesterday has downplayed the possibility of an injury. something has obviously changed in the last week, however, as he has gone from throwing to no pitching activity at all. As I said yesterday, however, updates as they occur.
