Hays to IL with rib fracture, Mullins up, Lopez activated

[SteveA]

Non-displaced is better than displaced, at least.

Non-displaced means there is a crack in a bone but it does not go all the way through

I don't know how anyone blames Hays for this injury.  I saw him get hit with that ball in the ribs and there was no way to avoid that one.

What?  Do we think that Hays has been playing with a broken rib all week?

Isn't it a bit more likely to be more recent?

I’m thinking that he might have hurt himself on the diving catch he made in CF a few days ago.

Can always just put Dwight Smith Jr out there in center.

I've kind of come to terms with the idea that the age of rationality has passed and the Orioles are being directed by forces we can't hope to understand.  If Smith plays center tonight it's probably because of dreams Hyde is having, and I expect a lopsided victory and the moon to turn blood red in the sky.

Probably means season ending.

Sounds like they don’t know.   I’ll tell you one thing, it didn’t hamper his running on that inside the park homer, or when he scored from 1B on a double yesterday.    My guess is it’s a pretty minor fracture.    Hope so, anyway.

Tough break (no pun intended) for Hays. Rib fractures are around 6-week injuries which would bring him back just in time for the playoffs.

Hyde doesn’t think so.   https://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/2020/08/hyde-hoping-hays-can-return-in-10-days-plus-other-notes.html

I'm not saying Hyde is wrong here but when is the last time a player made it back faster than the Oriole Manager/GM predicted?

[scOtt]

I just now read about this. I don't know what you guys are speculating about but it has to be when he got DRILLED by 96 in the ribs in Philly. I thought at the time it had to break a rib. Pretty much just as hard and solid as you can hit a batter.

And not blaming Philly or anything, just a pitch that got away.

I could see him playing for a week or so with it (and it's GOOD news that he did play with it.) They didn't see it on the 1st x-rays or MRI so it seems like it's minor (as far as BROKEN BONES go!) Maybe he aggravated it crashing into the wall or on that diving catch, who knows?

 

Anyways, the main point is that the med staff and Hyde think he could just be the 10 days and back in action. Fingers crossed! Even if his hitting is a little weak right now I LOVE his glove and presence in CF. Hurry back Austin!

Yep, cautiously optimistic. Hopefully he is back by September.

[Moose Milligan]

This sucks.  He wasn't hitting but his defense in center was pretty good.

I'm afraid he's just one of those dudes that can't stay healthy, which is a shame.   Lack of better options keeps him in the picture.

[Number5]

More power to him for playing with a broken rib.  I remember when I broke a rib it hurt like hell with any movement.

Totally agree, I had the same thought when I saw him get hit last weekend. The  sound it made was painful to hear. 
 

A shame because he has such great energy out there. Get well soon A Hayes!
