People can joke all they want but no team can expect to come back from arguably 2 of its players missing essentially the whole season.

It very well could be much worse. Jimenez will be fine once the tendon is re-attached. If this one is in the middle of the muscle, not good.

It shouldn't be multiple times. This is the third reported one.

Could very well be. for a guy whose game is speed, it could be a long term issue.

It's iffy. With a guy whose game relies on speed, this could very well be a long term issue.

What is he doing that he continues to have issues?

I thought engel was by next week.

If this is truly accurate where it's a complete tear, it will depend on where it is. If its in the middle of the muscle, that's bad. If it s towards one of the ends its not so much. We'll know more if they report surgery or not. Either way. it's probably closer to the 3-4 month range.

He should be good after the rehab.

All depends on who they plan on keeping. I wouldn't sign Rodon to a long term deal even if he continues like this. Just too risky.

Really don't need to stretch as long as you work full range light weights. Saves workout time to work on more important cardiovascular issues as we age.

8-10 weeks. unless it is some weird tendon rupture or avulsion fracture.

It's not semantics. One causes injuries and one will prepare the body for physical exertion. It's a fine line but a big difference.

It was the trip and the weird extension at the end that did it. It wasn't during the act of normal running.

Correct. The hold for 30 secs up to a minute is really a detriment to anyone who has full range. So stretching before athletic events really shouldn't be done and most don't anymore. You'll see more of the dynamic stretching with movements into the end range.

That's perfect. As we discussed as long as you have the back straight and extend the hip, it will stretch appropriately.

It's not so much stretching as it is dynamic work at the end range. Passive stretching really is a detriment to muscle performance unless someone has a significant decrease in range. When working with muscles especially with runners, research shows the 2nd most predictor for injury is passive stretching.

Didn't see that. Never was happy with his play but he seemed like a really good guy.

Since most people spend a fair amount of their day sitting (work or leisure) they are constantly in a shortened position and get tight on everyone.

Makes sense. It was the tendon that they are debriding.

It would be really weird to ruture this one of these muscles. But its possible.

Where did you see this? i would like to see what type of surgery they would do here.

Hamstrings injuries are tough for two reasons. 1. There is a very fast switch from concentric to ecctric motion at 2 separate joints in the hip and knee. 2. There are 3 muscles attempting to do this activity and the biceps femoris where most of the injuries occur is one muscle with 2 heads that have separate innervations it's one of the few muscles like this in the body.

There is a segment of the sports medicine population that thinks that in baseball where so much large ROM and powerful motion are needed that too many players are not working through full ROM for strengthening and are too strong in only part of the motion. Thus causing imbalances throughout the motions and increased muscles injuries. I do not know the strength and conditioning group well enough to know if that is what's going on here. However it looks like in this case it was the trip while running prior to the extension to reach the base that is the issue. He seems to have these issues. Maybe he's just a klutz?

A season ending one would be surprising. The only way I could see that is if it's a labral tear or something like that in the joint that requires surgery.
