Hello Darcy,
It's best not diagnose but to refer your client to seek professional advice.
I currently train a client that had her torn hip labrum repaired. Before she had her surgery, she was/is an active tennis player and certain movements on the courst and in the gym, really caused her pain.
I suggested her to see a physician to diagnose her pain that resulted in surgery for the repair.
She has resumed our Personal Training with written permission from her physician/physical therapist. Now on the road to recovery, she will soon be back on the court.
Sincerely,
Michael

Before you assist him, make sure he's been given the correct diagnosis, then speak with his PT or doctor prior to helping him.
Everybody has different pain thresholds and tolerance. I have a client who has a torn Labrum and she continues to do my bootcamps but knows her limits.
Follow the advice of his PT
Swimming may be a great alternative.
He may need to not play baseball and try something different until it subsides!

I agree with Michael. I tore my hip labrum a few years ago due to a structural abnormality but many athletes tear it performing their sport. It can only be seen with an MRI, not with an xray, but an orthopedic hip surgeon can usually tell without the MRI. Any workout or exercise that causes your client to feel pain in the area is probably not helping it and could be making it worse. This injury takes time to heal from. Bad tears may require surgery.
I would definitely work closely with his Physical Therapist or orthopedist. I agree swimming could be a good alternative. In my case, I was able to teach all my Spinning classes with no problem - only jogging aggravated it.

Hi Darcy. My best advice is to FIRST and foremost, have your client evaluated by their physician, AND have the physician give your client a written 'ok' to train BEFORE you begin the client's training.
