Will Harris expressed relief once a number of possibilities for what was causing the swelling in his right hand when he throws were ruled out earlier this season.
Harris was initially diagnosed with a blood clot in his right arm, which was apparently a misdiagnosis.
He talked to reporters following a trip to see a specialist about where things stood as he was working his way back into the bullpen mix in early May.
“I definitely didn’t think that I would be pitching on May 4th getting that diagnosis,” Harris said. “That was something that was kind of looking like maybe a pretty large chunk of the season if not the whole season, so yeah, it was definitely a little bit of highs, and then no blood clot, but then maybe still could — we’re in that serious realm of possibly Thoracic outlet [syndrome], and then finally getting the clearance of that, and then being able to — okay, I’m not going to injure myself any more, I’m not in any serious danger, so I could start baseball activities.
