Its been pretty sore. Hell take an awkward swing and it takes him a minute or two to recover from that.It just keeps getting sorer and sorer, Yost said. Its not a thing thats going to heal within a week. Its not going to feel better for four weeks after he quits playing. But he can play through it.
