00:35very smoothly but still a little bit time left in his um in his rehab uh evan um has a a quad strain

00:43um you know he's going to be the 10 days at the minimum maybe closer to two weeks um something

00:48we need to get right his legs are so important to his game we want to make sure that we find a way

00:52to make make this heal completely so that he comes back and he can impact the game you know with his

00:57speed on the bases uh defensively in the outfield uh it's really important for evan and his game that

01:03we get this right um you know on the pitching front i mentioned rocker and um and uh bradford and gray

01:10are all doing really really well uh our expectation is kamar will be out on rehab this week building back

01:16up his pitch count um he threw a live dp yesterday it went well and uh we expect to see him in some

01:21rehab games um you know at least one rehab game this weekend and uh and bradford and gray continue

01:27to make progress as well they're not quite uh ready to go out and rehab but they are making progress and

01:32our hope is that you know here in the next you know three or four weeks that at least one of those

01:36guys will be ready um you know rocker will be ready before then uh bradford and gray but hopefully

01:41in the next three to four weeks to impact our team and how about our guy cory seager

01:45cory's doing well um he's really we're attacking this hamstring he's he's been very diligent with

01:52his rehab he continues to make progress um we're going to make sure we get this right we probably

01:56rushed it a little bit last week we thought we could manage just the game speed and sometimes

02:01the game requires you to do some things that you can't quite manage uh in a controlled way and so

02:05we're going to make sure that he passes all the tests and that we hopefully put this to bed and

02:09don't deal with it again throughout the year but he's um he's obviously so important to our team

02:13but i really believe right now for our offense to play the way that we've played this past week

02:18and win the games we've won um without cory it's a good sign for our team to see that we can do this

02:24uh you know without one of our best players and um and this is what a team does they pick each other up
