“Tired, sore, you know, there is a combination there, not just fatigue,” La Russa said. “I think he’s got some soreness to him. You’ve all heard it before and it’s true, whether it’s arm, legs, back, soreness is you live with in this game. You don’t ever play not sore, if you’re pitching or playing. But you recognize sore versus hurt and we don’t want to get him hurt.”
