Schilling's ankle:
The Red Sox training staff thought of various ways to keep the tendon in place. Special high-top shoes didn't work, and they hit upon the idea of sewing skin in Schilling's leg to the tissue underneath, creating a wall that would keep the tendon in place.
``It seems extreme. We couldn't find a case of it ever being done before,'' Epstein said. ``It was the best way to allow him to have his normal mechanics.''
Schilling had three stitches put in at about 2 p.m. on Monday, about 90 minutes before he tested his ankle on the bullpen mound in Fenway Park.
