As someone who has a bulging disc in the lower back I honestly don't know how they think he can go out there and play every day even with the best training and rehab in the world. You simply can't take that kind of punishment.

It was reported at the time he went down that he had a bulging disc in his back.

Everything I saw when it happened said it was a "lower back strain". I remember writing here at WSI in a thread that to the best of my knowledge nobody every got a steroid shot in the lower back for a strain.

Others echoed the same thing at the time so I assume they saw/ read the same thing.

Maybe the Sox changed that statement over the summer but I never saw it.
