Thank the love of god it’s nothing serious.

Wasn't it his left thumb that was hurt last year?  I'll only be fully relieved once he's back in the lineup.

Van Schouwen is saying that there was no incident that led to the soreness, so what, his hand just miraculously started hurting?

What is up with this dude's hands. Hasn't that been the only area of injury for him?

He's had a few leg issues, but the serious stuff has been the hand

he keeps getting hit with pitches and jamming his hand into the base sliding head first.  speaks to how incredibly raw he still is.   In the US at least a few hours of spring practice are devoted to one "don't slide head first except into home" and how to turn your back to the pitch when you're about to get hit.  Harder to get into those habits at his level than HS and college.

His first hand injury last year during ST was on a feet first slide into second.

True, but tell the dude to turn his back when he's about to get hit.

If this offseason taught me anything, it's that I hate random internet insiders.

So this guy's just making things up and hoping to get something right on Robert?

It would be nice if "random multi day magical bruise" was something that made sense.

I’m no doctor, but I don’t believe a broken hand puts somebody out for four months. Sounds like bullshit to me.

This is a good point. Every broken hand injury I can find on Google was 2 months out or less.

If he had a broken hand they would have known that same day or next after x-rays.

it wouldn't be the first time they thought he had a minor injury, only to see it not improve and then run tests a few days later and find out it was a serious injury.

Sox are just being extra cautious. Robert hit multiple balls over the CF wall in BP tonight. Should be back this weekend.

I will be honest, I posted it to bring attention to those on the board that might have sources. It worked like a charm thanks to Y2Jimmy
