Rincon limited by strained hamstring
Monday February 17, 2003
PHOENIX (AP) Oakland Athletics pitcher Ricardo Rincon strained
his left hamstring last week in Mexico and will not be able to
throw off a mound for several days.
Rincon played catch for a short time Monday, but said he doesn't
expect to pitch from a mound for four or five days. He was hurt
while running sprints back home in Veracruz.
``There's a little bit of pain,'' said Rincon, who was Oakland's
top lefty setup man last season after joining the A's from
Cleveland on July 30.
He's undergoing physical therapy each day.
``I'll be ready for the start of the season,'' Rincon said. ``My
arm is good.''
