Saberhagen’s Season Is Over
Boston Red Sox right-hander Bret Saberhagen’s bid for a comeback this season from his third shoulder surgery is over.
“I’m not doubting that I’ll be able to pitch [again],” he said Saturday. “It’s being able to pitch pain-free. . . . I can pitch now, but if I can’t pitch pain-free, it’s time to clean out the room and make room for somebody else.”
Saberhagen, 36, had off-season shoulder surgery in December and made a few rehabilitation starts before having to stop throwing Wednesday when the pain became too severe.
“It’s all over with,” Saberhagen said. “I didn’t want to [stop]. It wasn’t me. It was a combination of my shoulder and the management.”
