A sprained finger will not take 3 months to heal. 2. they don't do an MRI for a healing sprained finger 3 months into healing. My guess is something along the lines of a volar plate injury, misdiagnosed as a sprain, which is quite easy to do. Hopefully, there isn't much laxity in the finger.

Once again I thank you for your insights. Do you think the Sox could be trying to downplay nature of the injury so it does not hurt Frazier's trade value? I know Frazier does not have much of a market but an injury more serious would likely make it even more difficult to trade him than it already is.

I know Frazier does not have much of a market but an injury more serious would likely make it even more difficult to trade him than it already is. I would highly doubt this as it would come up in a physical. It's more likely just a misdiagnosis early on, which is very easy to do especially if there was a great deal of swelling.
January 26, 20179 yr How is an injury to a player not a factor in trade talks, unless there are none because of the injury; of if they aren't trying to trade him and there are no trade talks.

If it's something as insignificant as a sprained finger, it wouldn't be a factor.
