"tendinitis"? from "overuse"?
He hasn't played in almost a year. TC just started.
I am not sure how a strain relates to tendinitis...but that is what Dak claims he did....strain. I assume they are different things.
Dak typically is the last player off of the field, overuse can be seen as an increased pitch/throw count in a shorter volume of time. Especially if it's a return from an absence of formal practice with the team. Likely scenario with ankle injury to coming back and throwing higher repetitions in camp.
Shoulder strain is often a layman's term for the athlete. True shoulder strain would be similiar medically to a rotator cuff tear pending the severity. But most likely medical scenario is he threw a long ball where is tendon got irritated under his collarbone due to increased throw count , stiff joint, etc versus an actual tear.
Really nothing to be concerned about. In my opinion from what little information I have on my end. Could be wrong though.
