Athletics prospect Sean Nolin is frustrated his recovery from sports hernia surgery is not going as quickly as he hoped, per the Contra Costa Times.
“The last thing I wanted to do was be the guy in the training room,’’ Nolin said Tuesday. “I’m coming off surgery that took place three months ago. The recovery time is supposed to be 6-8 weeks, but I guess that’s not for athletes.’’
Nolin doesn't have a timetable for when he might be cleared for full activity.
“There’s an opportunity here,’’ he said. “But I can’t throw off a mound yet. It’s not like I’m doing nothing. I’m still doing all the other workouts and I’m throwing my 180 feet, so I’m keeping my arm strong. Once I’m ready to go, things should be fine.’’
