When the results of Andy Pettitte's MRI came back, they showed a persistent strain of the left groin. That was both good news and bad news - good, because it wasn't a situation requiring surgical intervention, but bad, because Pettitte was still hurt. So how's his recovery proceeding? Jack Curry gives us a timetable:
Best case scenario for Pettitte's return is mid-Sept. That's if everthing goes perfectly.
If things go well, then Pettitte should be able to get a handful of starts under his belt prior to the playoffs. Any more setbacks, though, would put a real onion in the ointment.
