What this latest report means, who knows but if he has a bat in his hands I guess that's progress

 

 

I saw something about a Labrum injury. My guess is there is a tear or partial tear and he inevitably gets surgery. If he hasn’t swung a bat at this point the chances of him contributing for the team this season seems barely above 0.

Well to be honest I would rather Springer DH over Santander. Perhaps Santander being out of the lineup gives us the best chance of winning.

Yeah i feel like he’s probably a DH-only until he has surgery. But then that means Springer has to play the field everyday. Not ideal.

Tony Taters revenge szn in 2026 is going to be dynamite though

Yeah if that's the case, combined with the fact that there's no guarantee he's even going to be 'Tony Taters' in time for the playoffs/stretch run if he does come back given the type of injury he has, then it might be best for him as a long term investment to just sit out the year. Let him heal up and be the starting RF in 2026. The sad thing is a healthy Santander in this lineup would be exactly what it needs.

Use the 30 day rehab clock to its max so that he gets hot there and then bring him up swinging it already.  You don;t punt on the season unless the medicals say otherwise,

Exactly this.
