Not a sprained one as the initial diagnoses said a few days ago; from DVS story in the Sun-Times:

Rojas has hairline fracture

The news for infielder Josh Rojas is not as good. Venable said Rojas suffered a hairline fracture making a tag at third base Saturday.

It wasn’t immediately known how much time Rojas, who initially thought he sprained the toe, will need to be ready to play.

“Hopefully he’s back here with us soon,” Venable said.

“From what I’ve heard, it’s pain tolerance. I don’t think there’s anything he can do running around out there that’s going to make it worse. It’s about him being comfortable and running out there. But obviously it’s fractured. He’s in some pain now. So we’ll give him his time to heal up and just do everything we can to support him.”

Might be ready for OD.  Hairline fracture.

Fletcher Quero Teel optioned. Narvaez still in camp.

Opens up spot for Meidroth or Baldwin potentially...or Ramos. 

Nick Maton and Tristan Gray would be the major dark horse candidates.

Never fails how mediocre talent gets injured.

Jimenez and Moncada kind of set the precedent organizationally.

Avulsion fracture? Meh. Few weeks maybe.

It's spring time.

That means either Sox injuries OR Buxton Correa Royce Lewis (moderate hamstring injury) are out...

I doubt it's an avulsion. An avulsion is when a piece of bone is pulled away from the rest of the bone. This is described as hacracked from what I've read, which is just a crack.

Could be but I figured as it was initially thought to be a a strain it was chipped and something just got lost in translation. Regardless minor issue he won't miss much time.

Correct. It's really semantics when it comes to treating it in any of these cases. It's supporting it and allowing time to heal and play as pain permits.

I had a fractured toe that was missed on initial X-ray and they told me to use heating pad on it in case it was cellulitis.   The pain that night was worse than a kidney stone.  And no, my doctor wasn’t with the Sox.

I knew that.

A few updates from the White Sox:

Tyler Gilbert will open again tomorrow night in game 1 vs Brewers

INF Josh Rojas (right toe fracture) will begin a rehab assignment tomorrow with Class AAA Charlotte.

INF Nick Maton cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Charlotte.

Another player that no other MLB team wanted, and he was our primary DH.

He put up 2 WAR last year. I'm sure there was other interest.

Considering he could have just been had for a waiver claim, that would be an incredibly quick fall from grace.

Clearly referring to Nick Maton

I think the poster thinks he is talking about Josh Rojas. Don't know considering Josh Rojas has yet to DH for the Sox this year haha

Or Phil Maton?

That's a lot of fWAR for a reliever though.

I'm sure all of MLB is keeping their powder dry for the inevitable Alexander Canario DFA. LOL. 

Perhaps Nick Maton could text Canario and tell him what it feels like to be on base in a baseball game. Canario hasn't had that experience for a couple of weeks. I wonder why Pittsburgh isn't playing him anymore.

Other people sucking on other teams isn't really a great defense for guys sucking on our team.

There it is.  A successful magician is a master of distraction.  Too bad that isn't the case here.

The masterful WestEddy who can’t stop himself from misrepresenting and outright lying about what other posters have said about players.

I always said Canario could easily suck and be a bust but I’d still rather play him over bad vet outfielders because at least Canario is 24 with power as a tool and could potentially have a future.

Meanwhile, Getz didn’t choose Canario but he did choose Maton and Maton basically was the full-time DH while he was on the Sox.  Maton and his .173/.295/.327/.622 line.  He was just DFA’ed and no other team wanted him, just like the majority of Getz’s DFA’ed players.

So does WestEddy question the great GM wizard Getz for this acquisition?  No, instead he deflects on any criticism of our awful GM and posts some BS to dig at me.  Makes sense…  🤡

Yeah I don’t see what’s wrong with wanting guys with some upside, especially power-wise. It’s no different than wanting to take a chance on a guy like Gage Workman. We would have just found out he sucked here anyway. It’s no big deal.
