Birdsong’s Road to Recovery | San Jose News

Hayden Birdsong, San Francisco Giants pitcher, is in early rehab after Tommy John surgery—underway since Opening Day—focusing on weights and nutrition while sidelined from throwing. Frustrated by his inability to help a pitching-strapped team, he recalls his last strong outing before the injury, followed by a painful pop and rip. Rehabbing in Scottsdale, he’s training six days a week and staying connected with teammates through camping trips. He’s set to begin plyoball work in two to three weeks and hopes to return stronger, though a looming MLB lockout threatens his training schedule. Despite the hurdles, Birdsong remains optimistic and laser-focused on his comeback.
