I would say it's not as bad as being shut out on 2 hits by Albert Suarez.

6 of 1, half dozen of the other.

Key words being last 4 seasons. This season he’s very meh with a FIP near 4, nearly 1.5 WHIP and a hit rate nearly 10.

Three of the last four.

Including last season.

This isn't ancient history.

20,21,23.

Down year this year or not, he's got ability.  His EAR+ this year is 101, it's not as if he's completely fallen apart.

“Rehabilitating Lat Injuries Baseball Pitchers

Lastly, I want to share a few clinical pearls when rehabilitation injuries to the latissimus dorsi or teres major muscle.  These come with experience.  I have seen many players struggle with this rehab, so learn from my mistakes:

Lat injuries need to be shut down from throwing for longer than you think.  On average, I tend to shut players down for 4-6 weeks, but now that we are identifying these injuries sooner before they become huge injuries, I sometimes consider as soon as 2 weeks.

The chance of reinjury is high.  I have seen many players reinjure their lats from trying to come back too soon, or progressing too fast.

It’s hard to stress the lat appropriately in the clinically setting.  The act of pitching places a tremendous amount of stress on the lat.  Players will have a satisfactory clinical examination before the lat is ready to throw.  As a general rule of thumb with lats, I tend to say that you must pass my clinical examination, then wait an additional week before you can start throwing.  Seriously.

Go slower than usual with a throwing program.  Again, it’s easy to reinjure the lat.  You need to perform a gradual intensity long toss program without max intent.  Once you get a decent base of long toss under your belt, you can increase intensity.  I see too many players focus on intensity before distance in their throwing program.  I always say, “let distance dictate your intensity.”
