Halted throwing program, no live batters before Japan

@JTBooth with their rotation, the Dodgers could actually consider keeping him off the mound again this season. Dude went ham in the year he didn’t have to expend energy pitching

@LBeesley I still think he's likely to do at least fifty or so innings, but yeah, they don't need him

@JTBooth weirdly the "frees up a roster slot" argument works exactly equally well whether he starts or not

He's gone from "not ready day 1" to "hopefully ready day 1" which is mildly positive
