Should Konerko be put on the DL to heal his thumb?

[ptatc]

Outside of the mainstream ( drugs and surgery) there's another method to actually heal musculoskeletal injuries called prolotherapy. It's not a bad option. It might even be able to help with his chronic hip problem.

 

It won't help the hip problem as hyaline cartilage doesn't regenerate. you never know with the tenosynovitis but that type of thing requires alot of rest and would probably be better suited to the off season.
