Player Notes
August 18, 2008
Curt Schilling said in a recent blog entry that he's leaning "very heavily" toward retirement, according to the AP.

July 7, 2008

June 25, 2008
Curt Schilling hopes to be able to pitch again after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder, but he will wait four months before making up his mind at which point he should be able to throw, this according to a report on Fox Sports.

June 23, 2008
Dr. Craig Morgan, the doctor who performed Curt Schilling's shoulder surgery today, told the Boston Globe that what was found inside Schilling's shoulder was about as good as they could have hoped. "The status of the rotator cuff was much better than was predicted," Morgan said. "He did have disease in the biceps tendon, that was his major problem. We transferred the biceps tendon. [He had an] unusual tear of the rotator cuff, small partial thickness, no separation from the bone. Small undersurface tear. What we didn't want to find is a big rotator cuff tear, because that's a long rehab."
June 20, 2008
Curt Schilling will undergo shoulder surgery on Monday, and his bid to return to the Red Sox in 2008 has ended, according to the Providence Journal. The 41-year old hurler stated, "There's a decent chance that I have thrown my last pitch, forever."

Red Sox manager Terry Francona has said that Schilling has reached a "plateau" in his comeback and been told to shut things down for a while. "It's been a frustrating week for him," Francona said of Schilling.
June 16, 2008
Curt Schilling had a bit of a rough go on Friday during a throwing session, and therefore he has been deemed to have suffered a setback in his recovery from an injured shoulder, according to the Providence Journal. "He's stuck for the moment," said manager Terry Francona. "We'll have to get with him the next day or so and figure out where we need to go (in his rehab)."
June 13, 2008
Curt Schilling threw in the bullpen before torrential rains soaked Great American Ballpark this afternoon. The Providence Journal reported that the work "wasn't much to write home about."

June 10, 2008

June 6, 2008
Curt Schilling threw 35 pitches off the Fenway Park bullpen mound Friday. That's 10 more than he threw on Wednesday, the first time he's been on the hill since being shut down with biceps degeneration. "Getting on the mound in the bullpen, regardless of the pitch count, was the stage. I'm waiting for the next stage now," Schilling said. "We'll increase the pitch count with a couple more bullpens, then I'll throw a pregame warmup bullpen and throw 15 pitches for an inning to hitters. The next [outing] would be a bullpen, then 15-pitch innings. Then you have to look at the calendar and see where we're at."
June 5, 2008

May 11, 2008
Curt Schilling threw "40-ish" tosses from 60 feet on Saturday. He could extend his range on Monday.

April 15, 2008
Curt Schilling remains in the dark on when he might be able to start throwing, according to MLB.com. The Red Sox right-hander hopes it will happen within "the next couple of weeks." "I'm getting closer, obviously, because they're challenging me more, but I don't know," said Schilling. "I feel good enough to be asking them on a daily basis, so that's a good thing. But I don't know. I don't have an answer for you."
March 13, 2008
The Red Sox placed right-handed pitcher Curt Schilling on the 60-day disabled list on Thursday, with the expectation that the 41-year-old will be sidelined until the All-Star break. The Sports Network reports that Schilling was removed from the active roster to make room for right-hander Lincoln Holdzkom, a Rule 5 pickup, a returnee via Philadelphia. Abiding by the league's collective bargaining agreement, Schilling agreed to begin rehabilitating his injured right shoulder in mid-February rather than having surgery. There is no timetable for Schilling's rehab and his return is totally dependent on his progress.
February 18, 2008
Curt Schilling doesn't think his current course of action is best for his shoulder, he thinks he should undergo surgery, but he will follow the Red Sox suggestion and rehab his injured wing. "I don't have any choice. If their course of action doesn't work I don't pitch this year, and I may never pitch again," Schilling said to the AP. "I have to mentally get behind it and do everything I can do to make it work." Regardless Schilling will likely be out until at least the all-star break and should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues for the foreseeable future.
February 15, 2008
Curt Schilling arrived at spring training Thursday, ready to begin the rehab process on his right shoulder. Although the veteran didn't speak to reporters, GM Theo Epstein did provide a bit of insight into Schilling's rehab. "He'll be rehabbing and strengthening for at least six to eight weeks. Then we'll see where we go from there," Epstein said in the AP. Schilling isn't expected to come back before the All-Star break, though Epstein didn't want to put any sort of specific timetable on a return. "It's way too early to put any kind of timetable on it. It's just step-by-step," Epstein said. "He's at the very beginning of the process."
February 8, 2008
Curt Schilling will receive a cortisone shot in his injured right shoulder today, according to the Boston Globe. It will be the first step of a conservative program that will give Schilling a shot at pitching later in the season. Repairing the partially torn rotator cuff in the joint likely would force him to miss the upcoming season and, probably, call it a career. However, Dr. Craig Morgan, who performed surgery on Schilling's shoulder twice, believes the non-surgical approach is a waste of time and doomed to fail, so it's clear that Schilling's future is completely uncertain.
February 7, 2008
Curt Schilling will not have shoulder surgery for what appears to be a partial tear of his rotator cuff according to the Boston Globe. Schilling will reported follow the more conservative course recommended by Sox medical director Thomas Gill, after the club and player agreed to submit to today's recommendation by an outside medical expert. The veteran will start the season on the disabled list and be out at least until the All Star break. This ends any fantasy value Schilling had entering this season and he's now nothing more than a draft day flier.
February 7, 2008
Curt Schilling's 2008 season could be over before it even starts. The Boston Herald is reporting that the veteran has a significant shoulder injury that's caused friction between the player and the team. The Herald hasn't reached Schilling or the Sox for comment, but baseball sources have indicated that the club has at least inquired about the possibility of voiding the one-year, $8 million contract Schilling signed last November. The two sides are also at odds on whether the pitcher needs to have the operation. It is believed that the right-hander is suffering from an injury to the rotator cuff and/or labrum that might require surgery. If Schilling does opt for surgery, he almost certainly wouldn't be able to pitch this year, and his career could be over.
