Makes much more sense if it was truly a repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good idea to get into the habit while standing at learning to keep the abdomen muscles taut while breathing. If you are fit and not carrying extra belly fat it will benefit your back as long as you work on having a firm stomach and do your back exercises. An inversion table wouldn't be bad but that's a luxury for many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 There's no reason to doubt ptatc on this. He's always been the goods on this board. Robert Murray reported that Grandal was expected to be out 5 weeks. His source is very, very close to the situation. I've heard similar to the expectation being a 4-6 week timeline still. The White Sox are just being cautious as they have been with all of their injuries. We'll see what happens I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see. 5 weeks just isnt feasible for a full tendon repair. But as we all know press releases don't always tell the whole story and the procedure may have been different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I wonder if trainers like ptatc would temper expectations for a rehab timetable based on anticipated stress and strain , i.e., a knee injury for a catcher who couches down and stands up 100+ times each game.

As someone who is a complete laymen - I can still confidently say that is a reasonable expectation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will work with the team physicians and then communicate this to the coaching staff. Who in turn will tell the FO. They will then send out the press release. Sometimes things change along the way. The trainers work under the physicians who have the ultimate say.

Legally the physician has the ultimate say and if they did the surgery as in this case, the trainer probably didn't have much to say about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they literally rushed Engel and Yaz back causing the more severe injury; with Engel they repeatedly let him push too much too soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Gun Pete Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 22 hours ago, bmags said: AAA plays games until 9/19 this year Ok, so given that the re-injury occurred 7/6, 9/1 would put him at ~8-ish weeks out from the injury. If his recovery goes well, perhaps he can join Charlotte around ~9/10, which can give him a week or so down there. Then, if that goes reasonably well, he can easily be back for the last 2 weeks of the regular season. All this team has to do is to stay afloat, while Grandal recovers. As an aside, if Jimenez rejoins the roster around the end of July, then Robert in August, and Grandal in September, that would be a big boost to this team's post season chances.

Not to mention the likelihood of at least one affiliate being in post-season play, extending by at least a week the possible number of games for someone in rehab.

joejoesox Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 When Grandal comes back from rehab, will he be catching right away or will it be more of a DH/1B/Off the bench late type of deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
