Considering the headline, 5-8 weeks isn't so bad.    I hope he makes a full recovery and returns as the same awesome player he's been to this point in his career.  

For the record, he's been worth 3.5 rWAR in less than 1/3 of a season.   What an amazing player. 

The parallels to Mickey Mantle are impressive.  If he can keep healthy moreso than Mantle in the future, we may see the career The Mick could've had.  Without the championships, sadly for Trout.  And I'm sure Yankee fans in the future will point that out at every opportunity.

Yes and I wish the O's had him on the team. He is an amazing player.

Quote

Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna says he’s been feeling “anxious” and “weird,” which is why he was unavailable to pitch for his team Friday night. He’s unsure if he’ll be available to pitch Saturday, either.

Quote

“I don’t really know how to explain it. I just feel anxious. I feel like I’m lost a little bit right now,” Osuna said. “This has nothing to do with me being on the field. I feel great out there. It’s just when I’m out of baseball. When I’m not on the field, I feel just weird and a little bit lost.”

 

Not good at all.

I don't think most people realize how serious this surgery is. This is the same one that pretty much put an end to Mark Prior, Johan Santana, Chein-Ming Want, Danny Hultzen, etc. This is not TJS where odds are stacked in his favor. I can't think of any major league pitcher who had this surgery and came back to even sniff their previous success.

As far as I know Pineda tore his Labrum.A very major surgery for sure, but not quite the same.  Supposedly Urias' labrum and rotator cuff are fine, he's having surgery to repair his left anterior capsule.

Just going by what the LA Times had to say.

Not good, but it's not like Urias has been a major factor in the Dodgers' success year.  Can you imagine if Urias was a starter for the O's?  We would all be talking about him like he were already HOF worthy and blame the O's coaching for ruining his arm.  The Dodgers are the opposite of the O's in that they have become deep in talent and patient.  They are built to absorb bad luck here and there.

Of course they can. It doesn't make it any less disappointing for the organization or the player (especially the player).

Urias came with the most hype of a SP prospect in a number of years, and now he's in really bad shape. Tough break no matter how flush your club is.
