Rising, who was limited in practice this week with a hand injury, appeared in Saturday's warmups and went through throwing drills but with a glove on his throwing hand, fluttering his throws. He had been described as a game-time decision Saturday with ESPN reporting that he could be expected to play despite residual hand soreness.
