Prior’s return delayed. He may not pitch for Cubs till May.
PEORIA, Ariz. — After being re-examined by a second physician Saturday, Mark Prior conceded the April 12-19 timetable for his return to action may be way too optimistic.
There’s little reason to believe Prior could be ready before May 1, even if he restarts his rehab process Sunday after a six-day layoff from throwing.
“It’s kind of one of those mystery things we’re going to have to deal with,” Prior said. “Hopefully, it’s not too long.”
I’m gonna go freak out now.
It’s all a conspiracy by the Trib – A month or more of SERGIO = lots more beer sales.
