OAKLAND -- The Angels measured the strength of players' grips during Spring Training, largely to get a baseline for follow-up testing during the season. Pitcher Andrew Heaney took part in it, and he did it again recently.
The grip with his left arm, the one that is nursing the flexor strain that currently has him on the disabled list, actually got stronger.
"Working hard, feeling good," said Heaney, traveling with his teammates for this 11-day road trip that began Monday against the A's. "Hopefully I'll be throwing soon."
Heaney isn't sure when exactly "soon" will be, though.
