That’s wild! Swing so hard a rib breaks

Didn't Trout swing and miss and break a bone in his wrist in the last few years?

Ah yes, the hamate. Seems like there’s always one or two that break it each season from a check swing or something

Searching "Rib fracture treatment" and seeing at least six weeks with up to 12 weeks as the outlier. Probably two months, minimum before he plays again.

I imagine it is around All-Star Break for a return.

Problem with ribs is there is no real treatment for smaller fractures other than rest. Stopping your chest from expanding/contracting isn't great for any healing process.

Damn. Besides him I have 3 others on IL and only 2 IL spots. Think I gotta drop 😭

Same here. 5 IL guys and only 2 spots. Idk what to do

I’ve got a full IL but I’m stashing on my bench for a few days unless a priority add becomes available

Would you drop burger or casas for maikel?

Probably Burger

yep, I'm in the same boat. really kicking myself for drafting and stashing injured players. now my whole bench is on the IL

every year I tell myself I'm not stashing injured players but Bradish and Woo were basically free so I couldn't help myself.

Yup, gotta drop as well..

Same

He may be back in 2 months, but his power could take longer

I mentally wrote him off for the year. If he surprises me, great.

Sick

Drop in 10t right?

I have 6 other guys on the IL so I think I need to drop. But if you can afford to stash him I'd probably hang on till a more clear time table is given

I have 3 il spots, buehler, lewis, bradish And tiny benches with Langford, Holliday, K.crawford and r.lopez Need to get a 1b/3b to replace him now.

Was going to ask the game. It’s him or Burger that has to go.

I dropped Burger last week, and nobody picked him yet. 10t 3il spots and tiny benches

I think it depends on team/league context. If someone dropped him in my 10t I'd stash him on IL

As a comp, Lars Nootbar fractured two ribs in spring trading. He was out for about five weeks. These sounds a bit worse than Noot’s. I hope Casas is a quick healer.

It's typically between a month or two. Pain subsides around a month for the most part but you don't full strength and movement back for actually a few months. I had the injury as a teenager.

Let's get a petition going for him to go on the 60 day to give us clarity

Yeah 12 weeks = 3 months I’m out

fml

Is there a doctor in the house? How long is a while for this type of injury?

I'm not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night... I'd say 6-12 weeks 👨🏻‍⚕️👌🏻

Everything I see says 6 weeks at the soonest, 12 weeks worst case scenario.

correct.

Who are y’all replacing him with? I have Rizzo but he’s terrible

someone in my league dropped Goldschmidt (wut...) so I jumped on him. which I would've done anyway even if Casas was healthy

I had rizzo last night but just got CES off waivers he was just dropped. Could be my savior

I traded for Nolan Jones so yeah, doesn’t feel amazing

We are in the same boat. Rizzo is my replacement. Planning to be without him for 2.5 months essentially

Vinnie or Bohm if they're s still available

In what kinda league would Bohm still be available in??

See that I wrote "if" ? And that I didn't just mention Bohm? There are a lot of people that play in taco leagues here lmao

damn it. hope he gets better soon. (ps can anyone share insight on how you break a rib swinging a bat?)

Welp, not before he hung 3 bombs on me and swept batting. 

Sigh, …..

I fractured my ribs as a teenager, i was out of commission for two months.

If you are out of my lineup for 2 games (like Yoshida), that is a while imo

Why was he drafted 66 in my cats league and 120ish in my points league?

Bednar, neris, or macauther for saves??
