Garrett Richards showed real progress after receiving a stem cell injection for his damaged elbow:
Remember back in late June when we discussed Angels pitchers Garrett Richards and Andrew Heaney trying a new alternative to Tommy John surgery? It’s a stem-cell procedure that could take 12 weeks instead of 12 months, if it works.
Well, Richards had his shot on May 16. It’s August 15 and …
Doctors see "significant improvement" in elbow of Garrett Richards and have cleared #Angels RHP to begin throwing today.

A shot instead of surgery, and maybe less than half the recovery time. This could be a huge win for pitchers.
