He's riding the bike every day. I'll tell you that, ... He's in shape. He plays catch or does something every other day to keep his arm working. I'm not even worried about that.

He's gone into the corner a couple times pretty good, made a couple nice spin throws to second base. I can see his arm has already gotten better. He's stretching it out a little bit. He's doing OK.

That first week of the season, without having an off-day, you never know how far the starters are going to go. So we may need that extra arm down there.

It was good to see him out there. He was erratic in his command. But he's got such a good arm that he can pitch from behind in the count at times. It will be easier for him when he works ahead.
