[Gelb] Zack Wheeler kept the rib that was removed to correct his thoracic outlet syndrome. It’s in his closet. He is happy with his progress. Orion Kerkering has a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He’ll be a little behind. So will Michael Mercado (shoulder) and Dan Robert (cardiovascular).

  4. Using the word cardiovascular on its own like that makes it sound like either a very serious health problem, or simply being out of shape.

  14. How can they let him keep a rib? I’ve asked to keep things removed from my body and was told that’s not allowed.

  18. Poor Kerkering, tho. I heard he reported to Spring Training early with JT to try and put last year behind him. I don’t think he *needs* something like a hamstring issue.

  20. Oh I would pull that thing out randomly to show guests after a few too many fingers of bourbon, much to the chagrin of my wife. At least a couple times a year, hit em out of nowhere with the “so ya want to see my rib”?
