He's done a good job keeping the ball in the zone. He has had short, quick innings. He throws that knuckleball, and then he throws an 83-mph fastball and jams good hitters. He's got some weapons.

He threw the ball good. Our plan now is to have him play catch (today) and then see how he feels. If everything is OK, we'll have him throw another simulated game on Tuesday and go from there.

It nicked off his glove. With two strikes, we play in on Pierre on the opposite way anyway. About the last thing he will do is hit a ball the opposite way over an outfielder's head.
