Injury Notes: Kluber, Strasburg, Ross

By Steve Adams | September 27, 2016 at 10:32pm CDT

There’s been plenty of notable injury news around the league today. The Nationals received a crushing blow in the form of a torn ACL for Wilson Ramos, while the Blue Jays lost setup man Joaquin Benoit for two to three weeks due to a torn calf muscle. The Red Sox, meanwhile, announced that Drew Pomeranz will be, at best, a bullpen option from this point forth due to forearm soreness and a significant increase in his workload.

Here’s a look at a few more injuries pertaining to a pair of playoff clubs and a potential 2017 trade chip…

  • The Indians announced some relatively good news following an MRI for ace Corey Kluber. The test revealed a mild quad strain for Kluber, per the club, but the Cy Young candidate dodged a potentially more serious groin injury. He’ll be ready to return to game action in seven to 10 days, per the Indians, which obviously rules him out for the remainder of the regular season but gives him time to recover for the American League Division Series, which begins on Thursday, Oct. 6.
  • The news wasn’t as positive for the Nationals when it comes to right-hander Stephen Strasburg, as general manager Mike Rizzo told reporters, including Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post, that it’s doubtful that Strasburg will be ready to return for the National League Division Series. “I think it would be pushing it,” said Rizzo of Strasburg, who is dealing with a strained flexor mass in his right forearm. “I think that’s fair to say. Again, I haven’t seen him after his throwing program today, but just the calendar, it’s unlikely that he’d contribute in that first series.” Strasburg did play catch from 90 feet today, per Janes, but it appears that the Nats will need to advance to at least the League Championship Series if there’s any hope of Strasburg making a postseason impact. With Strasburg out, Max Scherzer, Tanner Roark and Gio Gonzalez would probably get the first three looks in the Division Series, and Joe Ross could be a factor as well.
  • Tyson Ross has received multiple medical opinions over the past couple of weeks, skipper Andy Green told Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune, and surgery to repair his right shoulder is a possibility. Ross, naturally, prefers to avoid that endgame, and he’s exploring all possible alternatives for the time being. The Padres hope to have a plan mapped out for Ross by the end of the regular season, Lin writes, and an ultimate decision could come later this week. Ross is earning $9.625MM this season but pitched only once for the Friars, on Opening Day, before going down with a shoulder injury that would eventually wipe out his entire season. Additionally, Lin writes that righty Jarred Cosart underwent an MRI and X-rays on his right elbow to determine the severity of a bone spur that he said he’s been pitching through.

    As a baseball fan I am sorry for Strasburg, but as a Dodger fan I feel a lot better about our chances for getting to round 2 or beyond.

      Wilson is a lot more of a threat to the Dodgers than Strasburg. Injuries are a factor with every club, the Dodgers certainly have had more than their far share of injuries this year.

    Joaquin Benoit was good while coming over from Seattle in exchange for Storen.. Change of scenery really helped him out here, and he took off.. I’m very disappointed that he tore his calf while running full speed on the field in the nyy brawl… Completely senseless and wow does he ever hurt our team..

      Entire brawl was senseless. Blue Jays were just looking for a fight.

        Why would the Blue Jays just be looking for a fight when they are in the middle of a playoff race? Not saying they are blameless, but pointing the finger only at Toronto being on the hunt for a ruckess make no sense.

          Agreed. This is how baseball works. Especially when you hit the reigning AL MVP. Tell me if Kris Bryant gets hit by a pitch, all the Cubbies would not be on the field to back him up?

    Speaking of injury notes, I have an odd question that maybe someone knows the answer to: Would Kyle Schwarber be eligible to join the 25 man roster in the World Series (to be a DH)? Super hypothetical and unrealistic, but I don’t know the correct answer.

      Yeah, he should be. He’s on the 40 man and 60 day disabled list and has been out at least 60 days.

      “Any player on the team before Sept 1 is eligible for the playoffs.”
