"We're going to see how it plays," Rand said. "He's still having some discomfort, so it's a question of how [much]. He's trying to work through it at 90 feet right now." Seay injured his arm in spring training and opted for rehab rather than surgery.

Seay began throwing from a mound in mid-March. "I've had to start over; now it's a matter of building my arm strength," Seay said. "If I was ready to pitch, I'd be pitching in a game. But this was a step forward. For the longest time, I didn't know if it would ever go away. I'm obviously not where I need to be because I haven't even thrown a breaking ball yet. It would be a long day at the office without a breaking ball." Said manager Jim Leyland, "It's very doubtful, in the opinions of all our people so far, not impossible but doubtful, that Seay will be ready to start the season. It could happen, but I think it's unlikely."
Seay won't be on opening day roster

But Seay has said he'll need 8-12 outings to get ready for the season, and he has yet to build up his arm to regular throwing strength. "I hope so," he said when asked if he could be ready for opening day. "That's a tough question right now. I can't predict that."
Seay plagued by shoulder pain
(3/12/2010) From The Sports Xchange notes: LHP Bobby Seay resumed throwing last week but continued to be plagued by shoulder pain in between sessions. "If need be, we'll send him out to be re-examined," head trainer Kevin Rand said. "Right now, it's the type of thing we'll continue to work through." The problem was diagnosed as bursitis and tendinitis, but now Rand says there's some rotator cuff tendinitis involved. "I don't think this is a major injury, or I couldn't throw," he said. "But the heating-up and cooling-down process (in throwing) is making my arm pretty sore. It's limiting my range of motion and what I can do throwing the baseball. ... I'm getting extreme soreness after (I throw). ... It's an injury to a part of my arm where I've never had any sort of issue. Some days are good, and some days it feels like I'm back to square one. Compared to a week ago, I feel progress has been made. But not far enough where I feel I could step on a mound and get my arm and legs back to pitching shape."
Seay may need more tests
(3/4/2010) The Detroit News reports that Tigers RP Bobby Seay (arm) is still feeling soreness in his left arm. He will throw a side session on Friday. The Tigers have not scheduled additional tests, but could reconsider depending on how Seay responds to Friday's session.
