It didn’t look like a bad injury. Twisted/sprained ankle. Def was in some pain. Would guess they IL him simply because the innings need to be limited anyhow so may as well just give him some rest now.
It didn’t look that bad. He jammed his left ankle planting. Hopefully just a tweaked ankle and he’ll be fine in short order. As we all know, twisting your ankle can hurt like hell at the moment but be alright in a week or so.
Fwiw - Perez hasn’t played in a few days with a minor injury. Charlotte brought up Xavier Fernandez to catch. I don’t think Perez was an option - unfortunate timing for him.
Also would have been better to use any of Ruiz, Foster or even Lambert over Sousa in the 7th who is an auto crooked number. That was where it really hurt.
