2019 injury roll/discussion

Sean Newcomb just took a hard line drive off the base of his skull. He walked off under his own power and was even chuckling about it a little, but I'm sure they'll be keeping a really close watch overnight.

Noah Syndergaard, hamstring strain

Delayed effects for Newcomb, 7-day concussion IL.

Rich Hill, forearm

francisco cervelli says he's done catching after his sixth (documented) concussion

league is ready for robot catchers imo

Breaking: Zack Wheeler is being placed on the injured list with right shoulder fatigue, a source says.

The IL move is retroactive to Friday, so the soonest he can return is July 23. That leaves Wheeler with two starts max before the trade deadline.

Corey Kluber shut down, may not return this year

Jose Ramirez's regular season is over. Cleveland's hard-hitting third baseman is expected to need five to seven weeks to recover after undergoing hand surgery Monday in New York.

Yelich ;_;

man, that sucks

Christian Yelich left tonight’s game with a fractured right knee cap. He will miss the remainder of the season.

— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) September 11, 2019

That's lousy, right in the middle of a wild-card/MVP race.

fuck

yeah this sucks for a lot of reasons, not only was he likely to repeat as MVP but he also had a good shot at being the first 50/30 player in MLB history, he was 6 HRs away which he was on pace to get. funny enough I don't think this affects the Brewers playoff odds a whole lot, for one they're still sort of a longshot (FG has them at 20%), for two they're actually pretty deep in the outfield. so it'll cost 'em like half a projected win over the remaining 20. obviously that's still huge but the whole "pack it in" thing I'm seeing all over Twitter strikes me as a little dramatic.

Dramatic indeed. What would you gain by ‘packing it in’ at this point of the season?

they're only a game behind the cubs for the second wild card and the cubs have been playing pretty shitty lately

We'll never know, but I suspect Bellinger was going to win MVP anyway. Rendon is making a very strong push the past month, though.

I dunno, I think yelich might have won it over Bellinger - he was leading him in slg, obp, average, tied in home runs, up 7.7 to 7.2 in fWAR.

Of course, Yelich would have to count on the rest of his team doing a little better so they could make the playoffs, which would then make him more “valuable” in the minds of some voters. Bellinger, on the other hand, plays for one of the best teams in baseball, a team that would still make the playoffs even if they didn’t have him, which makes him more “valuable” in the minds of these same voters. (??)

But yeah, yelich is out of it now.

Yelich had been scuffling a bit lately, though Bellinger wasn't exactly running away with it and creating distance between the two. Bellinger will probably get it but Rendon is certainly building a small "narrative".

We’ll see how the rest of the Nats perform down the stretch. Will be crucial in determining how valuable Rendon has been

Yeli was very much 'back' the last week or so. I don't think he really scuffled for any prolonged stretch.

there's still a decent chance he ends the season with the most fWAR but even so, voters don't really like giving it to the same guy twice in a row anyway so yeah he's probably out

i think more than that even, has it ever gone to a player who's missed a sustained stretch of time to close out the season? it's not a fair rationale but i think for voters they like to see a guy who's been in action recently.
