August 25, 20178 yr I wonder if he needs a scope. You don't hear about baseball players needing clean up work on their knees that much. I wonder if they keep it quiet most offseasons. They must at least suspect something besides shin splints, right? Why do an MRI? Not trying to be an alarmist. I'm sure he'll be fine. Think he'll be shut down til spring training though?
August 25, 20178 yr Not surprised. This team has been a M*A*S*H unit the entire season. For an organization that prides itself on keeping guys healthy, something went seriously off the tracks this year. Just hope it is nothing serious or even nagging. Ever try to do anything with shin splints? Basically you can't and Moncada is a kid they are putting a tremendous amount of faith in to help turn things around.

August 25, 20178 yr It's a shame, but let's face it, does it really matter if this is career ending? He's obviously a bust.
August 25, 20178 yr They treated my shin splints in college by removing my ACL. Pretty standard protocol.

August 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) Been a rough year with the careers of Yoan and Rodon ending so prematurely. [pours out 40]
August 25, 20178 yr So yeah, the 10 day DL people are being serious about that right? And it's a "Bone contusion"? Is that going to fit under the realm of shin splints? Or did he get HBP there or something and make it worse?

August 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) Just another example of why calling him up this year was dumb. Do they play on a foam-pit field in the minors?
August 25, 20178 yr Given that this team has used the DL over 20 times (most for far longer than 10 days), I'm not surprised. Typical White Sox luck.
August 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) Do they play on a foam-pit field in the minors? No, but this team is trash and Moncada didn't exactly force his way into the bigs. Make the young man earn it when all he is doing in the majors is blowing service time. And now here is blowing service time on the DL... I would have left him in AAA until next May. It is what it is. I totally understand the reasoning behind getting him to Chicago when they did. I just didn't love the decision.

Is that going to fit under the realm of shin splints? Or did he get HBP there or something and make it worse? Exactly. It's not really a contusion but the effect on the bone is the same as the stress reaction. It's just an insidious onset as opposed to a traumatic one.
August 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 02:10 PM) I would imagine the white sox time lost to the DL is not even top 10. With Jones, Putnam, & Soto included?
