We haven't seen any signs of Sunny having the form that he had last year. We talked [on Saturday]. To me, it's not a mechanics issue. I think he's kind of lost in what he's trying to do, as far as how he wants to execute each pitch. It's not coming naturally.

He's still very weak. I really don't know when I can get him off a mound, let alone in a game. So the clock is ticking, and it's not going to stop. It's going on nine or 10 days since he's pitched a game. These are all the things you can't make up for. All you can do is, first and foremost, get him healthy.

He throws 10 pitches (during the game), and then he's in the conditioning room for an hour and he's just rolling in to the clubhouse when the game is over. He's put in that much work to maintain his body. He doesn't take his body for granted. That's why he's so good. That's why he's had longevity.
