Carpenter on the road to recovery


Cardinals' right-hander Chris Carpenter is on the road to recovery after having Tommy John surgery in July.


He's been taking small steps in his rehab and has just begun throwing, albeit, soft toss for the first time but at least it's throwing.


He's scheduled to meet with Dr. George Paletta on Sunday to update his progress and will be in Florida to continue his throwing program on Monday. The usual recovery time for Tommy John Surgery is 12 months, so Carpenter could be on the mound in July depending on how his rehab goes until then.
