This is just purely hypothetical. If he's the fifth starter with the second [day of the season being an off-day], you won't have to use him until the second time around. So you can get a little [simulated] game or something more on the side, a bullpen [session]. There's different things you can do to take care of that. If he just stays well, there should be no problem. If he gets to the point where he's hurting again, that would obviously cause an entirely different scenario.
