March 11, 2010
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)—Arizona manager A.J. Hinch says there’s an increasingchance that Brandon Webb(notes) will start the season on the disabled list.
Webb reached what Hinch called a “plateau” in his comeback from shouldersurgery. He has not thrown a bullpen session for a week after saying he felt“stagnant” and was not making the progress he expected.
Since then, the 2006 NL Cy Young Award winner has only been playing catch.Hinch said Thursday that Webb felt better after Wednesday’s throwing sessionthan he had in some time, and a bullpen outing could be scheduled soon.
Webb tentatively had been penciled in as the team’s No. 3 starter with hisfirst outing on April 7.
