June 14, 20223 yr So we’ve had Hendriks, Bummer, Kopech and Burger all get injured in the last week. It never ends.

You do realize that Sousa was also warming up, right? Instead he went with Hendriks with 5 run lead to save Sousa for a high leverage spot on Saturday, which he failed, and the Sox lost.
June 14, 20223 yr Liam for Joe Kelly and David Martin. Sounds like a trade we think other teams would take.

Yes, I didn't understand using him, but the more you think about it, whether he pitched that game or not, I'm thinking this injury was coming anyway. He always warmed up with a sleeve on his elbow, then took it off. So something has been up for a while.

Doesn't make the bullpen manage decisions on Fri/Sat any better, tho.

No it isn't, but he said it with an optimistic tone and we all know he meant "he should be ready to pitch over the next few days" Hopefully just one of those deals where he wouldn't be ready until the weekend so they're giving him extra time and getting a fresh arm up. Unfortunately, he's now out until the the 26th best case scenerio. Just praying this isn't a long term issue. Edited June 14, 20223 yr by ChiSox59

You know they wouldn't have used Hendricks in the situation where Souza failed.
June 14, 20223 yr Just gotta hope it's not a UCL problem. We're still on the hook for 2 more years of his contract.

That's what you do when the most important piece of the pen is ready. Otherwise they may have burned him for the next day depending on his previous load.
June 14, 20223 yr Glad he pitched that meaningless inning on Friday. We now get to keep living this bullpen disaster indefinitely. Hooray.
