X-ray shows Pettitte’s fracture is healing well, expects to throw this week

Via Meredith Markovits, x-rays taken during a routine check-up show that the fracture in Andy Pettitte’s left leg/ankle is healing well. He expects to begin a long toss program a little later this week. Pettitte still hasn’t been given the green light to resume running, but once he gets the okay he can get his legs back in shape and start throwing off a mound. Last week we heard that Andy’s setback will delay his return 7-10 days, so likely mid-September is everything goes smoothly from here on out.
