Not good.

Every cloud has a silver lining.   This means, most likely, Norby or Holliday get extended time at 2B.   Norby looks like first man up.

And here’s hoping that means reduced playing time for Urias.

Dislocated elbow. Norby likely in lineup tomorrow and is being added to the roster.

Hope Mateo recovers well!

Is this something that could impact his ability to play the field?  Could he be ready to bat before he's ready to field?  Not sure you carry bat only Mateo in the regular season but probably in the postseason.

This looks like Norby’s golden opportunity.   I think he can win the full time job which would mean Westburg full time at 3B and limited time for Urias.   The question is, will Norby be here next Thursday?

You never carry bat only Mateo.  I guess you’re thinking of the PR aspect?

Yes, in the postseason.

A sort of three headed monster approach where Westy/Holliday/Norby split time between 2B/3B might be a way to get all a fair amount of playing time (and keep Urias out of the starting lineup).

Not sure if we’d want to do a straight platoon with Holliday/Norby at 2B, but it’s good to have options.

Heal well, Jorge!

Brown just said on broadcast he has gone to 60-day IL as part of today's roster maneuvers.
