Quotes
Don Mattingly
Interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies
“I don’t think anyone’s worried this is long term, this is into next year or anything like that. I think we do think he’s going to be ready to pitch at the end of the year. We just have to take care of our business to get there.”

“Nothing’s really changed as far as our thinking, anything more than just making sure he’s healthy before he pitches again.”
