4:14pm: Dahl says he expects to miss six to eight weeks, per Nick Groke of The Athletic (via Twitter).
3:58pm: The Rockies announced today that outfielder David Dahl will head to the 10-day DL after being diagnosed with a broken right foot. In more promising news, infielder DJ LeMahieu was activated from his own DL stint.
Dahl has certainly had a snakebitten start to his MLB career. After a strong debut in 2016, injuries kept him from appearing in the majors at all last year. He had only made it back for 32 big-league games before this most recent problem arose.
Since his return, Dahl has shown mixed signals. He carries a .275/.309/.484 slash line, which lands right at league average (100 OPS+; 97 wRC+) once adjusted for context. Though it’s certainly promising to see his power up (.209 isolated slugging), Dahl’s plate discipline mix (28.9% strikeout rate and 4.1% walk rate) isn’t particularly compelling.
Not all that shocking, the guy is just snake-bit. The Rox really need to make an offensive upgrade, with Dahl, this might linger for the year.
It’s been a week since any news out of you guys from Milwaukee. Pick it up, still the NL’s best record
They are the quiet winners…..
Maybe nothing to report?
a few DL placings, call ups etc…ask and you shall receive apparently lol they reported the davies injury
Tough luck for Dahl. The guy has enormous potential at the plate and on the basepaths with his speed. However, the Rox do have outfield depth. Very glad to know DJ is returning. He is a big league hitter and a class act.
CarGo…
Dahl is one of those players you hate to have up in the bottom of the 17th inning. He’ll go 0-6 with 6 Ks and a walk but in the 17th he’ll come through with a walk off single. He’s basically what the brewers have on their entire team. Minus cheater braun and big burly Thames. I’m sure they have others on roids as well. Dahl is just a pest.
So now they finally give Patterson a actual chance in the show? Probably not..
