Though nothing is definite, RHP Troy Percival may not be ready to retire.
Maddon said he met with the veteran closer, who plans to work with a chiropractor in California and improve the health of his throwing arm.
That's the first priority, Maddon said, and after that, Percival will ponder returning. When Percival was put on the disabled list, Maddon said he wouldn't have been surprised if the closer retired, and that still seems likely.
But it sounds as if Percival will see how his body responds before making a call. Percival, 39, was in uniform Sunday, hanging out in the dugout.
"I don't think he's counted himself out yet," LHP J.P. Howell said. "He's still working out. I think maybe we'll see how he is in a month or so. Maybe he can come back. … He's had this time off, he's saying, 'Maybe I can give this one more push here.' And I think he can."
