Note that the article says
The good news is that is has nothing to do with his arm, as the DL stint is for a groin injury that the Yankees believe isn’t particularly serious.
I was going to say something about towel drills, but I think I won’t.

Prior must really love the game of baseball.
I can’t believe he’s still trying to get back to the show. Sad and impressive at the same time.
I assume he’s made a boatload of money over his career and isn’t doing it for that reason.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
I get the feeling that some "love of the game"
Stems from an inability to see one’s self doing anything else. Or fear of same. When you’ve been so good at something for most of your life, it’s gotta suck to be told that you’ll have to find a new way to spend your days. I’m kind of glad that my particular talents don’t come with an expected expiration date.

Yeah, I know there should be an apostrophe in "Vails," but punctuation wasn't an option when I signed up.

He should be arrested for vandalism after throwing that old tire through the glass window.
GM's are in charge of Managers, not the other way around.
True story about that.
They did hire an old woman to throw the tire. But she couldn’t do it. So they dressed one of the crew up in women’s clothes to do the tire-throwing.
