He felt good. He has palpable soreness, but he really doesn't have any evident swelling. We'll progress him over the course of the weekend, with regard to his running, and see how it goes. |

He is from time to time with physical activity getting some dizziness and loss of balance. He has yet to perform any baseball activity. |

He said he definitely felt improvement over [Friday]. |
He said he felt good, a little fatigued at the end. |
