BOSTON (AP) -Curt Schilling’s surgeon is saying the right-hander probably would have been ready for this postseason if the pitcher’s shoulder operation was performed in January.
Dr. Craig Morgan wanted to operate then and said in spring training that the only way Schilling might pitch this season would be if he had surgery. Team physician Dr. Thomas Gill recommended rehabilitation. Schilling reluctantly agreed, then had surgery on June 23.
Morgan says Schilling’s shoulder is “phenomenal” and that his health would not prevent him from pitching at the start of next season. Schilling has said that if he does play again, he would want to return in the second half of next season.
