October 8, 2008 CBS reports that Curt Schilling would have been ready for the postseason had he hd surgery when it was originally recommended in January. Dr. Craig Morgan wanted to operate then and said in spring training that the only way Schilling might pitch this season would be if he had surgery. Team physician Dr. Thomas Gill recommended rehabilitation. Schilling reluctantly agreed, then had surgery on June 23. Our View:Morgan says Schilling's shoulder is "phenomenal" and that his health would not prevent him from pitching at the start of next season. Schilling has said that if he does play again, he would want to return in the second half of next season. |

October 6, 2008 Curt Schilling (shoulder) might be willing to return for just half of the 2009 season, according to Slam Sports. "I won't come back for a full season, that much I know. If I do decide to come back I would work to the point I was ready and somewhere around May 1 let the teams know I wanted to pitch the second half," he said. Our View:Schilling said the rough plan would include him pitching in the minors in June and then hopefully returning to the hill right around the All-Star break. Even if he does somehow make it back to the mound next season Schilling is far from even a fair bet to be productive. |
|
August 18, 2008 Curt Schilling said in a recent blog entry that he's leaning "very heavily" toward retirement, according to the AP. The 41-year-old, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on June 23, added that his shoulder "is getting better fast" and "I've still got a rather lengthy amount of time before I decide anything." Our View:Schilling is expected to wait until spring training before deciding anything. Given how self righteous he is, we're betting he doesn't want to go out on a sour note and will return, but who knows. |
|
July 7, 2008 Curt Schilling has started to rehabilitate his right shoulder after surgery, but hasn't decided whether to try to play again, according to the Star Tribune. He said on Monday it will be at least five weeks before he must decide whether to make a run at returning for 2009, and added, "the shoulder is sorer than I expected it to be." Our View:Hopefully he will return to the diamond and leave the game on his own terms, and not due to injury. |
|
June 25, 2008 Curt Schilling hopes to be able to pitch again after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder, but he will wait four months before making up his mind at which point he should be able to throw, this according to a report on Fox Sports. "If I come out of rehab and I'm throwing 84 miles per hour, it's over," he said. Our View:We wish Schilling all the luck in the world in his attempt as it would be sad to see such a tremendous pitcher have his career ended by injury. |
|
June 25, 2008 The Boston Globe reports Curt Schilling told Boston radio station WEEI this morning that he will begin to rehab his right shoulder and may decide to pitch next season. Our View:Schilling said he will make a decision about returning to baseball when his physical therapy concludes and he is able to throw once again. |
|
June 23, 2008 Dr. Craig Morgan, the doctor who performed Curt Schilling's shoulder surgery today, told the Boston Globe that what was found inside Schilling's shoulder was about as good as they could have hoped. "The status of the rotator cuff was much better than was predicted," Morgan said. "He did have disease in the biceps tendon, that was his major problem. We transferred the biceps tendon. [He had an] unusual tear of the rotator cuff, small partial thickness, no separation from the bone. Small undersurface tear. What we didn't want to find is a big rotator cuff tear, because that's a long rehab." Our View:Morgan said Schilling could possibly begin a throwing program in four months, if he decides that's what he wants to pursue. He could potentially be throwing from a mound by January. |
|
June 20, 2008 Curt Schilling will undergo shoulder surgery on Monday, and his bid to return to the Red Sox in 2008 has ended, according to the Providence Journal. The 41-year old hurler stated, "There's a decent chance that I have thrown my last pitch, forever." Our View:Following last year's championship campaign, Boston signed Schilling to a one-year deal that includes $8 million guaranteed, with a possible $6 million in additional bonuses for making weight, plus pitching incentives that Schilling will not be able to reach. |
|
June 17, 2008 Curt Schilling will have his right shoulder examined tomorrow, according to the Boston Globe. Red Sox manager Terry Francona has said that Schilling has reached a "plateau" in his comeback and been told to shut things down for a while. "It's been a frustrating week for him," Francona said of Schilling. Our View:Schilling's recovery had been going well until this recent setback. We'll let you know how the exam goes. |
|
June 16, 2008 Curt Schilling had a bit of a rough go on Friday during a throwing session, and therefore he has been deemed to have suffered a setback in his recovery from an injured shoulder, according to the Providence Journal. "He's stuck for the moment," said manager Terry Francona. "We'll have to get with him the next day or so and figure out where we need to go (in his rehab)." Our View:Everything had proceeded pretty well so far, but it was foolish to expect his recovery to come off without a hitch. Hopefully this setback is minor and Schilling will still be able to contribute at some point in the second half. |
|
June 13, 2008 Curt Schilling threw in the bullpen before torrential rains soaked Great American Ballpark this afternoon. The Providence Journal reported that the work "wasn't much to write home about." The usually vocal pitcher didn't want to discuss it as he grabbed a pen and began to work on a newspaper crossword puzzle, noted the report. "Not now," said Schilling. Our View:Schilling didn't experience any pain in a throwing session on Tuesday, but wasn't pleased with his command. Manager Terry Francona told the Journal on Wednesday "The good news is he's ramping it up." Schilling is rehabbing from right biceps degeneration. |
|
June 10, 2008 Curt Schilling threw 40 pitches off a mound on Tuesday and didn't report any issues following the session, according to the Providence Journal. He didn't experience any pain, but wasn't pleased with his command. Manager Terry Francona said, "The good news is he's ramping it up." He is recovering from right biceps degeneration. Our View:He will throw off a mound again on Friday in Cincinnati. He would then pitch live batting practice, followed by a rehab assignment, barring any setbacks along the way. He is progressing favorably, but still has a long way to go before he returns to the Red Sox. |
|
June 6, 2008 Curt Schilling threw 35 pitches off the Fenway Park bullpen mound Friday. That's 10 more than he threw on Wednesday, the first time he's been on the hill since being shut down with biceps degeneration. "Getting on the mound in the bullpen, regardless of the pitch count, was the stage. I'm waiting for the next stage now," Schilling said. "We'll increase the pitch count with a couple more bullpens, then I'll throw a pregame warmup bullpen and throw 15 pitches for an inning to hitters. The next [outing] would be a bullpen, then 15-pitch innings. Then you have to look at the calendar and see where we're at." Our View:Schilling's next step is to pitch live batting practice, which will be followed by a rehab assignment. Things seem to be going well so far, but he's still a long ways away. |
|
June 5, 2008 Curt Schilling threw 25 fastballs off a mound on Wednesday, according to the Providence Journal. He threw 22 strikes during the session, but did not throw any breaking balls. Manager Terry Francona said Schilling is still in the arm-shoulder strengthening stage, and will increase to 35 pitches in his next session Friday. Our View:The team is yet to set a timetable for his next step, which would be to pitch live batting practice, followed by a rehab assignment. He is trying to bounce back from right biceps degeneration, and this was an encouraging outing for him. |
|
June 3, 2008 Curt Schilling played catch on Monday and is hoping to throw off a mound on Friday for the first time, according to the Boston Herald. He is trying to bounce back from right biceps degeneration. Our View:This would be a big step for him on Friday, but there remains no timetable as to when he may return to Boston. |
|
May 24, 2008 Curt Schilling took another step in his road to recovery on Friday as he was able to play long toss from 140 feet, according to MLB.com. "...it's hard to get excited about throwing 140 feet. Within the context of what I'm doing, yeah, it's great. It's still a long ways from throwing a pitch in anger in a game that matters." Our View:Schilling hopes to take the mound for a side session on June 6th if he doesn't suffer any setbacks before that date. If that goes well he will continue to take a measured approach that he hopes will find him on the mound at Fenway sometime after the all-star break. |
|
May 11, 2008 Curt Schilling threw "40-ish" tosses from 60 feet on Saturday. He could extend his range on Monday. "There's been no period of time during this where there's a setup goal and potentially fail," Schilling tells the Boston Globe. "We're just taking it as it comes." He is trying to rehab a damaged right shoulder. Our View:Curt still has a long ways to go in his comeback attempt. We're keeping our expectations very low. |
|
May 8, 2008 Curt Schilling had another successful throwing session on Thursday as he threw 25 pitches from 60 feet with no pain, according to MLB.com. "Another good step," Schilling said. Our View:Schilling will throw again on Saturday, and if he suffers no setbacks he will move back and throw from 75 and then 90 feet the next time out. Schilling is still a long way from returning to the Sox rotation, but the news is very positive so far. |
|
May 6, 2008 Curt Schilling registered 25 tosses from a distance of 60 feet from 1:43 to 1:49 this afternoon at Comerica Park, which was the first time he has thrown a baseball this spring as he continues to rehab his right shoulder, according to the Providence Journal. The session reportedly went well, and he will repeat the workout on Thursday. Our View:So far, so good with his rehab. It remains uncertain when he can return to the diamond. He would be entering his 21st season, and went 9-8 over 24 starts in 2007. |

May 6, 2008 Curt Schilling is going to throw for the first time this season on Tuesday, according to CBSsports. Schilling is on the 60-day DL due to his shoulder ailment, and is scheduled to throw 25 pitches from 60 feet. If that goes well, he will begin a regular throwing program. Manager Terry Franconoa said, "He's got himself to the point where he's excited he's getting to do it. It's another step." Our View:Schilling said he would have preferred surgery, but the team insisted he try rehab. The Red Sox and Schilling had originally hoped he could be back around the All-Star break. Now, it's uncertain when he might come back. He would be entering his 21st season, and went 9-8 over 24 starts in 2007. |

May 3, 2008 The Boston Red Sox report RHP Curt Schilling is close to throwing, according to MLB.com. Our View:Schilling spent time with reporters on Friday, stating, "I'm close to throwing. I don't know. Close. I would argue that we're close to throwing in the next week to 10 days, probably... There's no pain, no stamina issues, no strength loss, no lingering effects, which is a huge plus." As MLB.com writer Ian Browne notes, Schilling will be facing more than health as he attempts to return. Schilling is currently without a spot in the rotation and will have to earn his way back in to a starting role for a Sox system that is working. "There's a certain challenge to it, because I couldn't be farther from being a part of the team," said Schilling. "But I never looked at it as hard. It was a necessary part of what was happening." Thus far the veteran starter has passed every test, but he has yet to throw a pitch and has not specific timetable for those activities. We'll update, as always, when further events transpire. |

April 15, 2008 Curt Schilling remains in the dark on when he might be able to start throwing, according to MLB.com. The Red Sox right-hander hopes it will happen within "the next couple of weeks." "I'm getting closer, obviously, because they're challenging me more, but I don't know," said Schilling. "I feel good enough to be asking them on a daily basis, so that's a good thing. But I don't know. I don't have an answer for you." Our View:Schilling will be fortunate if he can return before the All Star break, and even then he is a a fringe fantasy reserve in mixed formats. |
|
March 13, 2008 The Red Sox placed right-handed pitcher Curt Schilling on the 60-day disabled list on Thursday, with the expectation that the 41-year-old will be sidelined until the All-Star break. The Sports Network reports that Schilling was removed from the active roster to make room for right-hander Lincoln Holdzkom, a Rule 5 pickup, a returnee via Philadelphia. Abiding by the league's collective bargaining agreement, Schilling agreed to begin rehabilitating his injured right shoulder in mid-February rather than having surgery. There is no timetable for Schilling's rehab and his return is totally dependent on his progress. |
|
February 18, 2008 Curt Schilling doesn't think his current course of action is best for his shoulder, he thinks he should undergo surgery, but he will follow the Red Sox suggestion and rehab his injured wing. "I don't have any choice. If their course of action doesn't work I don't pitch this year, and I may never pitch again," Schilling said to the AP. "I have to mentally get behind it and do everything I can do to make it work." Regardless Schilling will likely be out until at least the all-star break and should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues for the foreseeable future. |
|
February 15, 2008 Curt Schilling arrived at spring training Thursday, ready to begin the rehab process on his right shoulder. Although the veteran didn't speak to reporters, GM Theo Epstein did provide a bit of insight into Schilling's rehab. "He'll be rehabbing and strengthening for at least six to eight weeks. Then we'll see where we go from there," Epstein said in the AP. Schilling isn't expected to come back before the All-Star break, though Epstein didn't want to put any sort of specific timetable on a return. "It's way too early to put any kind of timetable on it. It's just step-by-step," Epstein said. "He's at the very beginning of the process." |

February 8, 2008 Curt Schilling will receive a cortisone shot in his injured right shoulder today, according to the Boston Globe. It will be the first step of a conservative program that will give Schilling a shot at pitching later in the season. Repairing the partially torn rotator cuff in the joint likely would force him to miss the upcoming season and, probably, call it a career. However, Dr. Craig Morgan, who performed surgery on Schilling's shoulder twice, believes the non-surgical approach is a waste of time and doomed to fail, so it's clear that Schilling's future is completely uncertain. |
|
February 7, 2008 Curt Schilling will not have shoulder surgery for what appears to be a partial tear of his rotator cuff according to the Boston Globe. Schilling will reported follow the more conservative course recommended by Sox medical director Thomas Gill, after the club and player agreed to submit to today's recommendation by an outside medical expert. The veteran will start the season on the disabled list and be out at least until the All Star break. This ends any fantasy value Schilling had entering this season and he's now nothing more than a draft day flier. |
|
February 7, 2008 Curt Schilling's 2008 season could be over before it even starts. The Boston Herald is reporting that the veteran has a significant shoulder injury that's caused friction between the player and the team. The Herald hasn't reached Schilling or the Sox for comment, but baseball sources have indicated that the club has at least inquired about the possibility of voiding the one-year, $8 million contract Schilling signed last November. The two sides are also at odds on whether the pitcher needs to have the operation. It is believed that the right-hander is suffering from an injury to the rotator cuff and/or labrum that might require surgery. If Schilling does opt for surgery, he almost certainly wouldn't be able to pitch this year, and his career could be over. |
