Mark Mann Quotations

The only way that this is going to be fixed is through surgery. We'll have a better idea as far as time in regards to how long he'll miss after tomorrow's appointment.

He will be throwing bullpens in Dayton on an every-other-day basis until we return to Cincinnati.

He'll go through a series of tests. Dr. Brannan will go over the CT scan once again and determine the course of action.

He said he felt good, a little fatigued at the end.

He's doing better. He got here early today for treatment, he ran on the track, said he felt good. He just has a little bit of palpable soreness, really doesn't have any evident swelling. We're going to progress him over the course of the weekend in regards to his running and just take it day-by-day, see how he feels.

He's going to catch a bullpen (session) or two.

(Pitching coach) Vern Ruhle doesn't want him to throw too many pitches in an inning. That's what happened last time out. There was no physical problem.

I was there for all three of them, and this was the longest time he had actually been unconscious.

We'll progress him over the weekend in regards to his running, ... and just take it day by day and see how he feels.

We are in no way, shape or form worried about this at all. We think that it's completely resolved itself.

We'll take a look at him when he returns. We're looking at him playing early next week.

We'd be concerned if it wasn't getting better. But he's been better each day.

We'll know better after he see the doctor.

We will spend well over $2 million on this facility.

There's still no timetable. We're taking it start by start.

All of his soreness is muscular. He's had significant spasms.

It's a little premature to make that call right now.

It's not recurring, and with each passing day it's less and less.

It's going to be at least five or six days before he can pick up a ball and start playing catch again. We'll progress him from there according to what he can tolerate.

It's going good. (Tuesday) was more of a recovery day. But it was important to see how he felt. He said he was fine.

It went well. The hitters said he had better velocity and good movement on all his pitches.

If he's not quite there as far as having full extension of the finger, he may wear a splint for another week. After that, he will begin throwing.

He really didn't feel like he was getting loose to where he needed to be to throw live BP, so we just backed him down. He had (a similar problem) last spring. It's something that just worked itself out with some treatment and some stretching over the course of a few days.
