My sources also tell me it's a torn calf muscle and JD's availability to start the season is very much in jeopardy. I'm hearing 6-8 weeks.

LOL, just as you guys called it. Now it's a couple of weeks.

Twitter tells me last year it was the left calf muscle that was the problem, this year it's the right.

 

Then there's this

 

 

So a bit more than mild.

 

Hoepfully the reasoning for the crutches and staying off of it so it heals completely this time unlike the nagging injury he had last season

Your sources? Since when do the voices in someone's head qualify as sources.

[TheHurl]

I'm really not sure what the big deal is.

How does that move help our situation at all

I'm glad it's February 19th and not April!

Well technically a tear is a strain and if he is limping around as badly as they were saying that would hold some truth to it. I just hate how the org. always hides injuries.

 

Everytime, Gibby "Yeah its just a mild injury thing we think he will be out a day or 2 then back on his feet"

 

*3 weeks pass*

 

Like that was exactly the Tulo injury last year.

I never get why teams are so shady with their medical evaluations and injuries.

My guess is the fear of people stop buying tickets. If they announce Donaldson has a calf tear then everyone freaks out and thinks the season is over.

maybe (in a few cases) they're afraid to publicly declare the extent of their desperation on the trade market?
