Recommendation: "[Dr. Keith] Meister said he has seen pitchers with MRIs that look 10 times worse than mine and they are pitching without problems," Webb said. All three specialists he visited this week told him that the injury did not require surgery, so apparently he does not have a torn labrum -- as it was initially feared -- after all. Webb will wait four-to-six weeks before throwing again, while going through a strengthening program to stabilize his shoulder and rotator cuff area.
