Tomlin won't throw for a few more days after an ultrasound revealed inflammation around the bursa sac on the AC joint in his shoulder, MLB.com reports. "I just think it makes sense now, as opposed to maybe when he gets stretched out to six innings, to take a blow, because this is something we can knock out and then he's good to go," manager Terry Francona said. Tomlin should have plenty of time to work his way back into the battle for the fifth starter spot if he's able to put this behind him in the coming days.
