"There's always an outside chance something could happen if I pitch that would impact my second half and I'm not willing to take that chance." Schilling's injury should lead to Mark Mulder starting the game. A replacement has yet to be named. Pedro Martinez probably isn't an option and Johan Santana is due to pitch Sunday, so the AL should probably take another reliever if winning the game is the goal. Keith Foulke and Eddie Guardado would be the best choices. |
| 6/25/04 | Curt Schilling (bone bruise in right ankle joint) was able to throw fastballs in the bullpen yesterday without any medication for the first time in almost six weeks.

While Schilling may have to be shut down for two to four weeks if his ankle injury regresses, according to team Dr. Morgan "If he continues to have discomfort, then this postseason, if all else is negative, we'd do an arthroscopy to have a look...at this point, there's no contemplation of surgery and there's no plans for surgery in the near future." Schilling has been wearing a removable brace on the ankle when he's not pitching and the team has ordered a high-density bone stimulator to try to hasten the healing. He has also been using hot-and-cold contrast therapy and has taken various anti-inflammatory medications, including one steroid cortisone injection. "As long as it's not getting worse, we're OK," according to manager Terry Francona. If you own Schilling the best you can hope for is a short trip to the D.L., but since it has not seemed to limit his effectiveness, perhaps Schilling will be able to continue to pitch through his ankle pain. |
| 6/10/04 | Curt Schilling, who continues to be bothered by an ankle injury, will make his scheduled start tonight.
