Should'of sat him vs LHPs more offen. Quote

gehringer_2 Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 If he hasn't been hiding this and it just became apparent and maybe they can use a compression fixture to speed healing, minimum might be 4 weeks plus MiLB rehab. Other end ....could be 12 wks. Quote
HeyAbbott Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Well, I guess it is time to start speculating about the draft. I don't see how we recover from losing both ERod and Greene. Quote

ben9753 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Wow. Their .577 winning percentage in May was their best month in 7 years. That’s unbelievable. That’s like a good month. Nothing special. 4 games over .500. And it’s the best they’ve had in SEVEN years. I’m actually stunned by that. 2 Quote

Of course when you have beat reporters who remain sports medicine illiterate enough that they don't even have a clear idea of what TJ surgery is after covering baseball for years, what do you expect?

RandyMarsh Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I'd be more than happy if he returned by the All Star Break, if he returned by the end of June that would be even better but lets be honest more than likely we'll be looking at an August return at best given how players seem to recover on our team. If the prognosis is say 6-10 weeks you can bet your ass it's going to be closer to 10 than it is 6. Quote
Jim Cowan Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Let's not forget that Harris nuked Kevin Rand, so estimates of recovery times can now be more optimistic. I'm kidding a little bit, but only a little bit. Quote

My only broken bone was my left tibia. I was fifteen and on a skateboard being pulled along by a bike with butterfly handlebars and a banana seat through a grade school parking lot. I’d had almost no experience on a skateboard, and it showed when it jerked up from under me and I landed ankle bone first on the asphalt. They put me in a cast on my brother’s birthday. After a week on crutches they put me in a walking cast. I was walking normally on it within three weeks. I even hit a softball home run with someone running for me in ninth grade gym class. The cast came off on my birthday. That was almost exactly eight weeks. Good as new. Never a problem since. I am not a major league athlete. Quote
Edman85 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 The Baseball Prospectus Injury Ledger seemed to show about 4-6 weeks for a fibula stress fracture, but there's a large variance. https://www.sportsmedtoday.com/fibular-stress-fractures-va-214.htm Good info in the link above. The key is rest, otherwise you run the risk of recurrance, so while the injury is likely minor, shutting it down for a week or two and being conservative on the rehab is likely prudent. Kinda similar in that regard in a lot of ways to E-Rod's injury. 1 Quote
Tiger337 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I have a loose fibula on which I've been running for 20 years. Just rub some dirt on it. 1 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Sounds like Riley wanted to keep playing and didn't even think he was that injured, don't know if that changes anything but I figure it can't be bad news. Quote

Hard to know - the flip side would be that stress fractures usually take time get to where they hurt enough to make you wince so there is at least some likelihood he's been nursing this privately for a bit. But if they really are catching this at the 1st sign of discomfort, he should be at the short end of the recovery time range. Quote
Jim Cowan Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I've never heard of the A4 pulley injury before. If it had happened to Chris Sale I would have said that someone must have kicked him in the ass. Quote
