He was kind of stretching his leg after the swing. Then he lined out to first and hobbled down the line with his bat in his hand. I'm thinking he may have tweaked it in his 1st AB when he ran down the line hard on a grounder to SS. Rewatching it now, he either pulls up lame or takes a stutter step running to 1st on his first AB, hard to tell because the camera doesn't show him running up the line. Second AB he's grimacing and flexing his groin after his first swing pretty badly and looks uncomfortable the rest of the AB then grimaces as he walks off the field. 3rd AB he's standing up taller and not doing as drastic a left leg turn than his normal stance. Color me concerned.

Yeah I pray it's just a little tweak, he makes this lineup so much more difficult to deal with, we need his big goofy ass.

July 29, 20214 yr This shows getting Leury back to a super sub role has value. Guys have played with stuff due to all the other guys out. Do that long enough and little things often become much bigger.
July 29, 20214 yr "Eloy's Groin Injury" sounds like a Twitter handle of someone who breaks trade rumors.

Moncada has played in more games than him in each of the last 3 years. Abreu and Vaughn right now are the only core position players who don't have some durability concerns going into next season.

They would have limited his running in the early phases of rehab as you can't run without moving your arm unless you want to cause other issues. Game situations are much more intense efforts and require different awkward moves than just straight running.

July 30, 20214 yr Only took what, two games? Banking on this guy to be in the heart of the order for 140+ games in a season seems like such a roll of the dice.
July 30, 20214 yr Author Added tweet to note unavailable tonight (I assumes this includes PH tonight).

I would say that they moved him quite quickly through his rehab stint, only played 12 minor league games, so some of this could be on whoever made the decision to call him up and have him at full speed so quickly.

Yeah, I'm thinking his conditioning wasnt up to par when he came up, he should've been working out a little after a game then taking a game off, needed him to hit the treadmill or something in the minors to get him to middle of the season games speed

I think much more he had to get some time on a baseball field to get into "baseball shape" to avoid exactly these type of injuries from baseball moves.

Shouldn’t the Sox review our strength and conditioning programs with emphasis on pre game stretching? We have too many injuries as a whole.
