The latest Tim Byrdak MLB and fantasy baseball news
Wed, 15 May 2013 20:35:15 -0700 New York Mets RP Tim Byrdak (shoulder) threw his first bullpen session Wednesday, May 15, since undergoing shoulder surgery. He threw 20 pitches - all fastball - and expects to throw a 25-pitch session Saturday, May 18. He is hopeful of returning to the big club by July 1.
Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:41:53 -0800 New York Mets RPs LaTroy Hawkins, Pedro Feliciano and Tim Byrdak (shoulder) have to be told by March 26 whether they've made the roster or they'll earn $100,000 to be sent to the minors. The Mets could also choose to flat out release them. Hawkins appears to be a lock for the bullpen and Feliciano is a leading contender as well. Byrdak's deadline is a non-issue because the team signed him knowing he wouldn't be ready for the start of the season.
Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:41:31 -0800 New York Mets RP Tim Byrdak (shoulder) has returned to Florida to continue rehabbing from left shoulder surgery, and he hopes to return by July 1.
Mon, 11 Feb 2013 11:32:26 -0800 New York Mets RP Tim Byrdak (shoulder, knee) has been throwing on flat ground at 90 feet after undergoing surgery to fix a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder Sept. 6. He plans to return to camp Feb. 24 or 25 and hopes to begin throwing off the slope of a mound by early March and be throwing off the mound by the end of spring training. Byrdak's muscle had ripped off the bone, meaning his shoulder surgery wasn't as serious as SP Johan Santana's. "So, it sounds crazy, but all they had to do was reattach it to the bone and that was it," Byrdak said. "From what Dr. Altchek told me, there was no other damage to the shoulder. He said the shoulder, as a matter of fact, looked great for being a 39-year-old pitcher. There was small fraying in the back he took care of, that he shaved down. And that's been about it."
