Upon suffering that injury in late May, Crochet said he \u201cdoesn\u2019t feel like it even deserves that title\u201d of setback, since it was so minor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Two weeks later, he hasn\u2019t picked up a baseball and has \u201cno clue\u201d when he will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He has taken this extra time to further strengthen the shoulder. A continued problem in one part of his arm (shoulder) created an issue in another part (the lat), Crochet explained.

When you\u2019re dealing with the capsule, it\u2019s a little finicky and it\u2019s a very crucial component [for] overhead throwing, so it was really something that we didn\u2019t want to rush.
