July 15, 20223 yr I would definitely not bring him back before the break unless it was strictly as the DH or in a pinch hitting role. And going forward how can you put him back in the OF? He is a huge liability out there not only to himself but to others like Robert.

May as well maximize his playing time at this point. I agree he’s an injury risk regardless, but it’s not a binary thing. The degree of risk is less if the MRI shows nothing, rather than nothing drastic. Plus, him playing banged up can affect his performance (or already has been) to the point that other players on the roster are just better options. It’s a sad state. Dude’s become such a huge question mark.

He doesn't have a gut like Kirk or Naylor or heavy torso/legs like Vaughn or Burger. This kid has been slammed on this forum for everything he has done. Yes, some criticism is justified and can be useful, but a lot of it is just garbage. I suspect Eloy's surgery left him with a hamstring that is still somewhat compromised...at least for athletic purposes. It looks to me like Eloy needs daily physical therapy on that hamstring until he can run without fear that it pops or tears again. Until then, he probably should not be in the line-up. I'm not saying he's fat or lazy. I'm saying he's training wrong, which is just as harmful. Training these days is all about prehab and injury prevention at least as much as simply gaining power and speed.

But he did come back looking noticeably chubbier facially, he certainly hadn't spent his rehab time on a strict diet and working out hard. And carrying that extra could have a factor in injury recurrence.

It wouldn't be the modern White Sox without one, two or three guys or more out of action for whatever reason. Ugh. I do love me some Eloy when he's 100 percent tho.

An IL announcement retroactive to the date it happened should happen but they will just keep playing shorthanded for the last 2 games before the ASB. We'll find out over the ASB if Eloy is ready to play again by July 22. If not Haseley is likely back . Hahn back to "the team is on the floor" quotes playing coy about the Sox intentions before the trade deadline.
