Roch: Hardy's Shoulder Injury

[weams]

Injecting contrast allows greater differentiation between tissues with robust blood flow (often true of injured, inflammed tissues) and those without. Differentiating new vs old abnormalities will be dependent on comparison with past studies. I wouldnt expect anything more than a vague diagnosis of inflammation to the shoulder/rotator cuff, unless it's bad news.

Thanks. Roch said he felt better again today. Rushed to his appointment. Said If he had to play today it would be iffy.

He is going on the DL, might be back by April 11. Not considered too serious.

Should clarify, not definite but likely. Phone not letting me link.

Flaherty and Cabrera should each get some starts at SS. This could be interesting.

Great. His extension is certainly not starting out particularly well. 10 days no baseball activities, then you gotta factor in the unknown amount of time he will likely spend favoring it after he does return, not power swinging (again). This is not good.

So Opening Day will have no Hardy, no Wieters, no Davis. Hope everyone else can stay well.

Am I off-base in guessing the O's had an inkling of Hardy having a health issue when they signed Cabrera?

My understanding is that they became uncomfortable with the lack of organizational depth last year when Hardy was having issues with his back. I think they wanted someone who could still be a positive contributor in the event of an injury to JJ.

Considering he hurt his shoulder a few days ago, you might say they were clairvoyant.

It was a freak accident. Let's relax.

I'm confident that Cabrera can hold things down at SS until Hardy returns.

Not everything is overreacting. This could linger awhile.
