“Just kind of picking his brain about certain things like when we’re just doing fungos, like, hey, `If the ball’s hit this way or that way, how should I approach that?’” Rice said.Rizzo said staff figured out how best to wrap around his hand in his glove. “Just catching balls at a high velocity definitely hurts it more than it should,” he said. “Talking to the doctors hopefully with another 10 days or a week I’ll feel significantly better.”“It’s definitely nowhere near what my elbow was,” Rizzo said. “It’s literally 20 hours a day doing treatment.
