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.

Yelich would maybe inarguably still deserve it at the end of the year regardless.
depending on how the other two reasonable contenders finish out
Johan Camargo to IL with a shinbone fracture.

This guy has the worst luck. Can't see that it will cost him the MVP, though--the only guy even close, Bregman, will split votes with two or three other Astros.

Or more to the point, Trout was about to win unanimously, and two weeks will have a minimal impact on that.

No surprise that Charlie Culberson (multiple facial fractures, no surgery needed) is done for the year.

Freddie Freeman's been limping along with a floater in his right elbow, but he came out of the game today and suddenly it's apparent he hasn't been very good this month. (Last homer 9/1) Maybe he'll consent to resting until the NLDS.

So the Cespedis injury that caused his contract to be renegotiated was caused by a fall while tussling with a wild boar?!
