Hence to get back on the mound
Hence, who left his Class A start Thursday after throwing a wild pitch and wincing in the fourth inning, will throw his between-start bullpen session as scheduled. The Cardinals were encouraged after an initial evaluation of his pitching arm and will see how he responds to throwing a regular bullpen session before determining if he can make his next start.
Tink Hence won’t make his next start as advertised. The team’s plan was to have him throw a bullpen — as scheduled — and see how the arm responds. The seven-day IL is short enough that he’s already spent five days of it since leaving April 13th start with trainer after wild pitch https://t.co/SIePlbzwYJ
I sure hope Hence gets through his bullpen session okay. Maybe I’m too optimistic, but he could return by the weekend, although more likely next week if all goes well.
