July 26, 20178 yr Avi has a strained right thumb ligament, headed to the DL, per Merkin and Colleen Kane
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) There goes his trade value. Probably for ever. This team is so ready to tank the rest of 2017
July 26, 20178 yr Now imagine a lineup where Melky is traded in next 5 days and Abreu gets a day off while Avi is on the dl.
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:09 PM) Sucks, his season hit a wall real fast. Hope he heals faster than Leury has. Damn, I almost forgot Leury existed. Any word on his status?
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:16 PM) Now imagine a lineup where Melky is traded in next 5 days and Abreu gets a day off while Avi is on the dl. Knowing this team, they'll do something ridiculous and score like 10 runs that game.
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Who gets called up? Willy? Willy is the most likely, but it is worth noting that Rymer Liriano has been pretty hot as of late as well.
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:18 PM) How long has his thumb been injured? Could that explain his recent slump? It has been a while, so it is a possibility.

July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Damn, I almost forgot Leury existed. Any word on his status? Chicago White Sox @whitesox now Leury García will begin a rehab assignment today with the Arizona Rookie League White Sox.
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:18 PM) How long has his thumb been injured? Could that explain his recent slump? I think it might have something to do you with, along with normal regression. I like this move. Let it heal completely, come back, finish his slump and hopefully finish the season strong. This has been an awesome year for Avi, sans the injury/slump.
July 26, 20178 yr Didn't think it would actually happen but was hoping someone would trade for Avi. Don't have a whole lot of confidence in him next year. Hopefully he proves me wrong...
July 26, 20178 yr Scott MerkinVerified account @scottmerkin 19m19 minutes ago Avi will go on the DL. Out 2 weeks. Corresponding move to come
July 26, 20178 yr I hope they shut him down the rest of the year. His batting average has plummetted all because of the injury. He's done nothing of late cept see the .345 drop, drop, drop. Sox brass knows what he can do. No reason to play any more this season until he's 100 PERCENT HEALTHY. Kudos to Avi for a nice season. We'll never know what kinda numbers he might have put up if healthy. I mean if the thumb gets 100 percent better, fine. If not, shut er down please. Edited July 26, 20178 yr by greg775
July 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 09:36 PM) Most importantly, how does this affect the Portillos bet? Call the bet off. I said I'd buy anybody on here a portillos beef sandwich when I'm home. Fun.
July 26, 20178 yr Dan HayesVerified account @CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago Avisail Garcia said he doesn't need surgery on right thumb, just time for a reduction in the inflammation. #WhiteSox (pic of his hand).
July 26, 20178 yr Siera SantosVerified account @SieraSantos 4m4 minutes ago Avisail García says his thumb has been bothering him for a week. He just got back to the ballpark after having an MRI. #WhiteSoxTalk
