Step-by-step: Mark Prior is doing everything but throwing as he waits to be re-examined by team orthopedic specialist Dr. Stephen Gryzlo this weekend. The Cubs pitcher has a moderate strain of the subscapularis muscle in his right shoulder, one of the rotator cuff muscles, and was shut down from throwing for 10 days.
"It's a situation where I can do a lot of normal, everyday activities," Prior said. "It's not like I have a broken foot or a broken wrist or something that's visible and I have a cast.
"I won't know a whole lot about how it's feeling until they put me through some tests, and they're not going to do that until this weekend because they don't want to sit there and keep playing around with it and aggravating it," he said. "I'll know more this weekend."
The Cubs should have a better timeframe for Prior after he's examined. Asked about a timetable, Prior shrugged.
