It's too bad that Canterino didn't get care that Prielipp & Raya got. It's normal that pitchers who had TJ surgery to have control problems when they 1st come back. I'm optimistic that Canterino will eventually be impactful. My prayers are with him.

Amen

Wow, this is the news I've been waiting for.
Canterino is coming back!!

I've been asking GPT from time to time throughout the year to look for any recent news about Canterino, and I guess today is finally that day.

I sincerely hope that he stays healthy from here on out. And, hopefully, he can continue wearing our team's uniform next year as well.

Thank you so, so much for this wonderful news.

Whether the innings he throws in what is left of the season are his last or just a start to a new chapter. Wishing him the best. Perseverance.

What care did he not get?

He has received care.  He is just another cautionary tale of being an arm that was abused at Rice University.  Now there is still a slim possibility the surgeries fixed the issue and there is not significant scar tissue or significant decline in velocity ect.  Now I think there was some delay in receiving some procedures as they wanted to try to heal them naturally.  However the Twins have not just ignored his medical needs.  Now I do think our medical team was lacking there for a significant period and struggling to identify injuries - Buxton comes to mind.

Glad to see he's able to throw off the mound. I don't expect anything, but it would be fun to see him have some success as a reward for his hard work.

The legend of Canterino has been pretty crazy around here. He had a great ERA and a super high K rate, but his BB rate soared at AA suggesting the stuff might not be what generated all the K's. It might have just been aggressive hitters in the lower minors.

Or maybe he was dealing with one of his many injuries?  Why do you have to rain on his parade.  It's been four years.

If he is with the Kernels, doesn't their season end this weekend?

Well great. Like many I have been checking the baseball sites around the Twins looking for info on his status. When the calendar turned August and there was no word I had pretty much given up hope on his ever getting on the mound again. We will see if he can make the Twins next year.

Really, you went that route?

Some posters can deal with the tiniest bit of pushback on their cherished opinion; others can not and choose to go to some extreme length in the opposite direction as some kind of straw man.

Good luck to him !
