back on form?

Roy Oswalt threw today for the first time in almost a month. And the Weir native, on the disabled list for Philadelphia, reportedly threw without pain or stiffness in his back. “I actually felt great,” he told philly.com after tossing 50 pitches in a bullpen session at Wrigley Field in Chicago. “Probably felt as good as I did in spring training.” Oswalt is on his second DL stint because of the back problems. His numbers to date aren’t what he typically puts up: 4-6, 3.79 ERA. Indications are he’s going to try to pitch again for the Phillies next month, and maybe he’ll bounce back with a strong stretch run. That’s the hope in Philly. But there must also be the fear that the back could go balky again.
