Cool. So what's the most likely diagnosis. What's the potential recovery time and what would you see being potential implications to his overall game?

 

Have at it.

 

Medically speaking, he borked his ankle good, he's gonna be out a lot, and is probably gonna cuss up a storm!

I guess my main question would be, would it be worse if the ankle was broken, or if he tore a ligament or something? Obv the way that thing was moving, something very bad happened, but is it possible he just severely sprained it?

 

edit - I guess its also possible that all that stuff happened at the same time. Poor Adam.

Yea my concern is that it's both... but really, I know nothing.

Jesus you can literally see the ankle/foot flop after he goes to the ground. That's tough for Eaton.

Ah I see it here.

 

Nasty.

You guys are missing the more important result of this.... my fantasy team continues to be plagued with injury.

 

 

 

 

 

But for real, I've been rooting for Eaton and Sale. Hope he's ok.

Hope Eaton has a speedy recovery. Always liked his way of playing the game.

They always tell you not to lunge at the base like that but he has always done it

So Eaton got Tilson'd? Wouldn't be surprised if Sale went down too those pitch counts are adding up.

I always imagine it would be a hyperextended knee or torn hammy to be the result of that. Not a broken ankle.

stinks for him. Doesn't look good. Agree with whoever said that play was his time bomb. He never ran through and always hit the bag hard.

 

Worth noting that while he was having a great offensive year, he was -0.5 WAR defensively in center so far

The worst case is Jared Mitchell.

 

The best case is he loses a step, but his game has never been predicated on stolen bases. That said, some hesitation in the outfield and worry in the back of his head about another injury are going to be hard for him to get over. It's just as much psychological as physical.

His game has never be based on stolen bases, but base-running & range are two essential components to his game. Losing a step could have a significant impact on his production.

He's on the DL with left knee strain.

The MRI results should be more definitive...hard to believe it's just a strain after watching it all play out.

Wow that's a tough break for him & the Nats.

Whoa!

 

That's awful.

Wow that's a tough break for him & the Nats.

Isn't that a potentially career ending injury?

I'm sure he'll be back next year. It's bad, but not that bad

Not career ending as much as it could be career altering.

That sucks :/

Sorry Adam. Love that you still hustled on the play dude. Don't stop that.
