Yes, wrist injuries can be a real nuisance, I had a wrist strain from hitting a root while golfing back in 1990, it took a year and a half before it was 100% again but AV's is not a strain so I think he will be back much sooner. Cortisone wouldn't help with an injury like mine but should help with any inflammation that AV is experiencing. Edited May 6, 20223 yr by The Mighty Mite

The only tendons that they use cortisone on in the wrist are the ones near the thumb that have a synovial sheath because they inject the sheath not really the tendon. Edited May 6, 20223 yr by ptatc

Those guys were beasts and clearly standing out. The rest of the rotations behind them were filled with guys you'd expect to pitch seven, eight, nine innings by throwing slower. Now those rotation spots are filled with guys throwing as hard as Gibson, Ryan, etc but they can't handle the strain.

And don't forget Drysdale and Newcombe. Red Sox radio guys arguing Minoso clearly got robbed by Gil MacDougal in 1951 since BBWAA wasn't going to have two RoY's that were POC...same year Willie Mays won in the NL. And rounding back to Vaughn's injury, 8/11 years Minoso led the league in HBP. Wow. Players back then were just a different breed about playing through pain. Edited May 7, 20223 yr by caulfield12

May 9, 20223 yr Any AV updates since the ominous speculation here about the cortisone shot? Really hoping he's back on Thursday.

They 1) historically hate the Yankees and 2) have been combating their own ugly team history of racism allegations connected to the franchise over past decades. Edited May 9, 20223 yr by caulfield12

Typically, they wait about a week before any strenuous activity after the injection. The report was dated May 6th. So it will probably be Thursday or Friday before they even test it with hitting.

Well, the only way we would ever know if the BBWAA was going to "tolerate" two African American players winning ROY in both leagues in the same year less than five seasons after Jackie Robinson debuted...would be to switch their teams around. It's always going to hypothetical/speculation. Hard to find smoking guns, this isn't the 1960 presidential election in Chicago.
