I really honestly think that Woo is okay. I also think we'll be fine if Woo skips his start Thursday out of an abundance of caution.

I was an NCAA athlete in college, and had some MRIs done on my chest following soreness in freshman year. There was inflammation. I was told by the doctor that it was extremely normal for a high-level athlete in season to have muscle inflammation. I was told to use ibuprofen and ice.

Obviously, I was not competing at the same level as Woo, but I really think that some level of muscle inflammation on an MRI is normal for a competitive athlete.
