He has been off for over a year and a half. I get he has been hitting so that might slow the healing process to get back to pitching but this is a long time for TJ surgery. They said before the season started that they were projecting some time in May for his return. We are mid June so I think they have been really cautious with him. The one drawback is he hasn't really had a chance to go on a rehab stint to pitch in live games in the minors because he is playing every day as DH in the majors. So we will see how it goes. I think they will keep him limited to 3 or 4 innings.
