Non-Jed Lowrie Injuries 2020

No reports yet of either whooping cough or tuberculosis but I'll keep checking.

Chris Sale now needs TJS

What a disaster that deal is turning out to be for Boston. Two good seasons to start even though he seemed to wear out by the end/playoffs* in both. And now he's missing 2020 plus a chunk or more

of 2021 and then who knows. He'll be 33 by 2022 with three or four seasons (the always popular vesting option) to go at that point at north of $100 million.







* 7 playoff starts in 2017-18 but totaled just 25 IP in those and allowed 16 ER

Jacob deGrom has back pain.

I fear the July restart will lead to a lot of such injuries, as I'm guessing players have been working harder to keep up with their strength training than their flexibility training.

Each hurt taking a poo, no doubt.

[MFS62]

Too bad. I was expecting them make major contributions this year.

Nuñez hyperextended a knee stumbling over first base; will be re-evaluated; is perhaps re-evaluating his life.

[G-Fafif]

Matz apparently IL-bound with shoulder discomfort.

[ashie62]

Yes he is. He looked to be in real pain. He deserves better.

[MFS62]

Y'mean there are real injuries this crazy year and not the roster manipulation injuries of convenience?

Imagine that.

Many many injuries
