He also couldn't play and slumped at the end of last year due to a back injury caused by not being used to playing a full season.

That's why they drafted him. He consistently had one of the highest exit velocities in the NCAA.

The are constantly talking. Katz always talks about how he handles his pitching staff and how he has then work. TLR is known for letting his pitching coach do his own thing and really doesn't get involved. Can't vouch for the hitting coach and their relationship.

Another day off for the hamstring. ?

I guess you can lump physician's with training staff but most wouldn't. They have distinct roles. The training staff is the day to day plan of care and rehab after the physicians determine the diagnosis from the physical exam and imaging. They determined the grade 1 strain by: 1. Imaging 2. Range of motion 3. Tenderness/defect in the muscle 4. Decreased functional activities.

The diagnosis will be coming from the physicians not the training staff.

This is what makes me think he really is just having some chronic leg issues.

He's always been a low key personality. Players just don't lose it at 26-27. Answer: I have no clue. However, if his legs are still bothering him it does make it difficult to drive the ball

He probably means no discomfort while he is not doing activity. It would hurt to run. This is why it is a grade 1. Can't do aggressive activity yet but is good with rest.

I really don't think energizing the fan base is a top priority nor should it be.

To be honest, I didn't think this lineup would get 5 guys on base, let alone 5 runs.

Exactly. When we thought it was a true vaccine it was important. Now that we know it doesn't stop transmission and it's more just to decrease your own symptoms, go ahead and make yourself sick. Except for my students, they can't afford to miss a week of classes. We still are strict with masking and hand washing.

They guys in the minors are not the same as the MLB. The same doctors will be consulting with them though.

It's a good timeline for a moderate Grade 1. 3-4 weeks. You can bet that there will be more days off those first couple of weeks off the injury.

That would do it. For this since it's not too bad of a strain the seat is probably really high so as not to flex the hip too much. That what would cause your discomfort. Not to much the knee flexion but the hip flexion to get it there.

Riding a bike isn't all that tough for a groin injury. They are more involved with side to side and cutting motions. While it's a good sign, it doesn't necessarily mean anything concrete.

I don't know about that. They've had 2 hamstring injuries that required surgery. Thise are fairly rare and significant.

Yes it is. I wonder if they did any STEM cell or PRP injections.

Anywhere from day to day, to 4 weeks, typically.

Theoretically all teams should be. Unfortunately, reality bites.

Correct.

I wish the rest of the team was into yoga. I'll wager there would be fewer muscles injuries if they were.

They are very subjective. Grade 1 is a mild injury with no fibers torn Grade 2 is up to 50% of the fibers torn Grade 3 is 50%-100% There is a variability. This is one most allied health professions use. They also will estimate it using how much of a deficit there is with ROM.

No. In the "groin" muscles, surgery is rare even for a grade 3 as none of them have a long tendon like the hamstrings.

Yes. Thise are varied from mild to moderate so they are usually 2-6 weeks.
