Bruce Arians wore a large sling on his shoulder as he arrived at Steak 44 in Phoenix for a charity dinner Wednesday night.
The Cardinals coach was in high spirits, explaining that the surgery to repair his torn rotator cuff actually went better than it appeared.
“Hopefully I’ll play golf in June or July,” said Arians, who was attending the “Dinner of Champions” to benefit the Animal Rescue Foundation of Diamondbacks chief baseball analyst Tony La Russa. “The original plan was that I wouldn’t play golf until next year.”
Arians and General Manager Steve Keim feel like free agency held similar deception.
