Balta1701 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 In the first inning on May 2, Robert hit a ground ball to 3rd and stumbled just before reaching 1b. He fell behind the base and clearly was in severe pain from his right leg. He was carried off the field putting no weight on that leg whatsoever. When you see an update, please post in here.

caulfield12 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hate that my first thought there was the Bo Jackson injury (avascular necrosis) on a football field...but seems like hip flexor has to be it. Praying for that, he’s my favorite Sox player in ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our resident sports physician in the game thread suggested it was consistent with a hip flexor injury, which is probably mid June to July depending on severity?

Dick Allen Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I don't understand the good news.evenif its mild, which it didn't appear to be, he is going to be out several weeks. He still could miss a couple of months. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks for a mild sprain, six weeks or more for severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it’s on the better end of bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you Dick, it’s not good news. At best it’s on the better end of bad news. I think he meant good news compared to what it could have been. I think he misses the month of May but it beats a badly torn muscle or ligament. Or a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 From the looks of the fall I was worried about his shin or lower leg bone. If it’s muscular that won’t be the worst thing to happen. Although I have no idea who they’d bring up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
