Brett Anderson was at his locker in the Dodgers clubhouse today, so I asked him if he’s able to throw a baseball from any distance. He is not.
Then I asked Anderson, who had back surgery on March 3, to describe what he is able to do. Here was his response:
“I get to look like a baseball player and stand outside with baseball players,” he said, wearing a baseball glove on his right hand. “I get to get some Vitamin D, standing out in the sun, which is better than being indoors all the time.”
Anderson was given a 3-to-5 month timetable for recovery from the time of his surgery, which projects to a return between June and August. He’s still on schedule.
