But Bordy's on his way back! Woohooooo!:lust: :luvkiss:

This from the July 25 Baltimore Sun:

________________________________

Starting pitcher Pat Hentgen and shortstop Mike Bordick took significant steps yesterday in their return from the disabled list.

Hentgen, on the DL since May 17 due to a sprained ligament in his elbow, threw a two-inning simulated game that included 60 pitches. Bordick, on the DL since June 14 because of a Grade 2 shoulder separation, participated in the simulated game along with Mike Kinkade.

Barring a setback, both players believe they are on pace to begin rehab assignments within the next two weeks. Hentgen will throw a four-inning simulated game Sunday in Anaheim, then hopes to join Double-A Bowie.

Bordick continues to strengthen his arm and believes an even quicker timetable is possible. Confident in his ability to swing a bat, Bordick's final test is throwing from the hole behind shortstop and at different arm angles.

Hentgen, the Orioles' Opening Day starter, estimated he threw with "85, 90 percent" effort. Bordick insisted he could swing with maximum effort and without pain.

"This is a big step for me," Hentgen said. "I'm hoping to get the quality of my pitches back next."
