Cook Expects to Be Ready for October

by Jeff FletcherFiled under: Rockies, MLB InjuriesSAN FRANCISCO -- After throwing two simulated innings on Tuesday, Rockies Opening Day starter Aaron Cook said he is healthy, and he expects to be ready to pitch for Colorado in the postseason, if the Rockies get there."It's not an issue," Cook told FanHouse. "I'm healthy. It's just a matter of throwing my pitches and getting back to where I need to be stamina-wise and getting position to where I can go out there. My shoulder feels great. My foot feels great. It's just a matter of where they need me to help the team."Cook, who is 10-6 with a 4.47 ERA, has been on the disabled list since Aug. 22 with a right shoulder strain. He will throw another simulated game on Saturday. If that goes well, he could pitch in instructional league around Sept. 24 and possibly pitch once or twice for the Rockies before the playoffs.Cook Expects to Be Ready for October originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:35:00 EST .
