Read the following Case:

Jones hadn’t thrown a baseball in at least 15 years, but did enjoy attending his daughter Lily’s little league games.

“Dad, I want to be a pitcher,” exclaimed Lily.

“Can you play catcher while I pitch?”

“Sure thing Lily. I’ll get my glove,” said Jones while he entered the garage looking for his old baseball mitt.

Lily threw some pitches while Jones coached as best he could.

“Why don’t you try putting some heat on the next one?” said Jones.

“Okay dad, here it comes!”

Lily wound up and threw as hard as she could. The pitch careened over Jones’ right shoulder and he made a quick extending move to catch it.

Jones felt an immediate pain in the upper portion of his right shoulder.

“Are you okay dad?” exclaimed Lily with a concerned look on her face.

“I think so, but we should stop now.”

The next day Jones awoke with severe pain in his right shoulder that radiated to his arm. He couldn’t lift his arm over his head and had trouble putting on his shirt.

Jones decided to go to urgent care.
