Trevor Bauer made his much-anticipated Major League debut Thursday night, going four innings against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.

One of the reasons for the short outing was a troublesome groin cramp that has bothered the rookie on a few occasions this season.

Friday, the former UCLA All-American talked about the treatment he's receiving for the injury.

"A lot of hip repositioning stuff to try to talk off some of the pressure and some soft tissue stuff, get some of the swelling out of there and try to get it to calm down a little bit," Bauer said.

Words like 'pressure' and 'swelling' paint a bleak picture as far as injury prognosis go, but Bauer doesn't seem all that concerned.

"It's been worse in Mobile, and I never missed a start, so I should be fine," he said.

Bauer is scheduled to take the hill Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres at Chase Field in what would be his home debut.
