Swarzak thinks he'll be ready by Opening Day

[John Bonnes]

Per Rhett Bollinger, Anthony Swarzak will begin throwing by the middle of this week and feels good about his chances of recovering from this ridiculous injury:

 

"It's rest -- it's all it is," Swarzak said. "There's nothing you can do to speed up the process. It just has to heal on its own. But I'm extremely happy. Honestly, I'm about a week and a half or a two weeks ahead of schedule."

I hope that he does not hurt himself by trying to come back too soon, in an effort to reduce his embarrassment.

A little presumptuous he'll be around Opening day.

As of Tuesday morning, he's awaiting for trainer's clearance:
