When Cishek was operated on four months ago, the Mariners thought that that was the only injury in need of repair. Doctors also needed to do a microfracture surgery in that same area, which will require a slightly longer recuperating time than expected.
Nevertheless, Cishek’s recovery this offseason is best described in terms of Rudolph Zallinger’s, March of Progress.
Cishek was bedridden, then he hobbled around on crutches for a couple months, next he left his crutches and began to move freely, now we see him exerting more energy and force as he throws at spring camp.
