Aches, Pains and Muscle Strains 2021

Bregman scratched from the lineup. Dammit.

Look like Wilson is the insurance in case Robel goes down.

Yeah, that’s not good at all. Certainly seems like it’s more serious than the team originally thought.

Click sent out a statement that the lineup was an error.

No further setback.

Bregman was instantly given today off for evaluation as soon as he was lifted yesterday

He was never in today’s lineup.

He is at the park.

Correa told us.

If you mean Cabrera, I did not check every thread this could have been mentioned, just didn’t see it in the one most likely to have IL news. Apologies.

Ha! I tried, but I must have spelled it wrong so autocorrect made it Correa. I should proofread.

I thought I put it in the Covid thread last night. If I did not, my bad, and mea culpa.

Yes, it’s there. I just had not seen it before posting here.

Great news on Alex.

Maybe I am wearing my Pollyanna rose tinted glasses but I think all this extra work and time is so he is better the final 40+ games of the season.

Even if he is 2017 Bregman and not 2018, or 2019 Bregman he will really help this team.

Moves Diaz back to utility and removes Garcia.

Garcia has played well defensively and had his moments with the bat. I wish him the best and thank him for what he’s done.

Brave talk by Alex. We have heard it before. I will believe it when I see it in games.

That’s where I am, too. He last played a game for the Astros on Jun 16, seven weeks ago (he’s played in 59 of their 106 games). I’m not holding my breath.

We actually can take it further than that.

It was in the first half of the 2020 season the last time that Alex played with his legs 100%

He’s 27, a professional athlete and does not have a body shape that should overly stress his legs.

He should be able to get himself into ideal physical shape and stay there. At least for several more years.

I’m still optimistic he’ll be back. I have no other choice. A steve Carlton or Tom Brady regimen might be better than the weight training emphasis he’s done

Wade Boggs seemed to stay on the field.

Wade Boggs had 200 or more hits for 7 seasons in a row.

Exactly.

Bregs needs to try Wade’s approach to fitness/nutrition.

Fried chicken and beer should improve anyone’s outlook
