Veteran's ailing left shoulder can not be fixed surgically
By Matthew Leach / MLB.com
ST. LOUIS -- Having tried nearly everything to get his career back on track, Mark Mulder will turn to what may be his last option: doing nothing at all.
聖路易訊--已經幾乎嘗試所有方法讓自己的職業生涯回到正軌的Mark Mulder,現在可能只有一個最後的選擇:什麼都不做。
After extensive consultations with doctors, including Dr. James Andrews, Mulder has been told that his troublesome left shoulder cannot be fixed surgically. Mulder has already undergone two operations on the joint. In his last start, July 10 in Philadelphia, he experienced pain followed by drastically reduced ability to move the shoulder into throwing position.
在與醫生詳細的諮商過後,Mulder已經被告知他的左肩無法以手術的方式修復。Mulder的關節已經經歷過兩次手術。他上一次先發,七月十號在費城,投球後他感覺到疼痛而且無法移動肩膀到投球的位置。
Given the lack of medical options, Mulder will simply step back for two weeks. He will not throw, he will not work out or receive treatment. It's about the only option remaining.
因為無法給予醫療措施,他將休息兩個星期,不投球,不運動或是接受治療。這是唯一僅剩的選擇。
"Based on what the doctors are saying, there's nothing surgically wrong with him," general manager John Mozeliak said Saturday.
總經理John Mozeliak星期六說:「根據醫師的說法,手術沒有任何問題。」
"We really felt that just taking a step back and letting him not feel like he has to go through the training room, modifying his program, stop it. Let him clear his head, let him get away from this for a little bit, and then we'll re-evaluate him the first part of August."
「我們真的覺得這只是休息,也不要讓他覺得他必須承受訓練,更改計畫,最後停止。讓他的腦袋淨空,不去想這件事,然後八月初我們會再重新評估它的狀況。」
Mozeliak acknowledged that as the Cardinals plan for the final two-plus months of the season, they must accept the likelihood that Mulder will not be able to participate.
Mozeliak承認當紅雀隊在為未來兩個多月的球季計畫的時候,必須接受Mulder無法歸隊參與的可能性。
"Betting against him, I don't think I'm ready to do yet," Mozeliak said. "But realistically speaking, I can't plan on him contributing at this point. I think when you look at us trying to remain competitive in our division, and what we have to do, we have to operate under the assumption that it's probably not likely he'll be part of that equation."
「我並不認為這是在看衰他」Mozeliak說:「但就現實面來說,現在我無法把Mulder的貢獻考量在內。我認為想要在本區保持競爭力,我們必須做的是假設他不在陣中的準備方式。」
