Is anyone else worried about Taylor Ward's injury?

The way he described the strength tests, they are done when he raises his arm with his elbow at a right angle (like when you're taking an oath) and then he pushes backward. They measure the force he can exert, relative to the baseline measurement they took in spring training.

Also, I was off yesterday, but I made note of the fact that Frostad told the reporters there that Ward was at 65-70 percent of his baseline strength on Friday. On Thursday it was 60 percent. On Tuesday it was 50 percent. They said he can start to throw at 80 percent. 

If it's a stinger in his neck/shoulder, that would make sense that it pinches and affects strength when your raise your arm, but not when you lower it. So that's how he can hit, but not throw. 

 

Thank you for the update.  One question: Is Frostad related to Erstad?

Yes, with a sugar-coated topping.

If they were cereals my parents would only let me eat Erstad unless it was a special occasion.
