It's impossible to know what the best course of action is until we see how he progresses through the next few weeks. If he's able to avoid significant contact/stress there over the next 3-4 weeks, he could very well be in the clear, as by then perhaps enough healing will have taken place by that point that a hit or two to that area won't reaggravate it back to square one. He has always been a fast healer so I'm not too worried. And luckily it's his pinky and not a thumb or something vital to his shooting.
