I really don't remember whether it was in the Star or elsewhere. I'm not going to spend a lot of time trying to find it this morning. He practiced yesterday and felt much better but they need to see how it feels today. He needs to get in game shape and when he returns he'll be on a pitch count at first.

pretty sure the initial story said they'd done an MRI. I infer that it didn't indicate a need for surgery NOW from the fact that none has been reported, but perhaps they just decided that playing didn't risk further injury so they could review the situation in the off season. I'm not going to guess about injections as they may just not have talked to the media about such treatment details. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

All I’m saying is I won’t be surprised if the soreness returns and added treatment is needed. I’m not saying this is the case. But I’m also saying that it isn’t uncommon for an underlying issue for soreness that hasn’t been found in MRIs due to inflammation.

Here's an interesting article from the Star documenting how Vic has become more trusting of his teammates since the injury.
