The
AP has
more from Mariano Rivera on last season and his efforts to get ready for the upcoming one.
"It was painful when I pitched three days consecutive, four days, pitching more than an inning," he said on Saturday following the Yankees' first workout of the year. "I was taking all kinds of medicine to take the pain away. It did work. But it's too much. I didn't want to go through that again. We were fighting for a playoff spot. I couldn't sit and wait for my shoulder to recover."
