Injury Notes: deGrom, Cano, Scherzer, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Sanchez

By George Miller | April 21, 2019 at 8:35pm CDT

Following a recent elbow scare, Mets ace Jacob deGrom may not be headed for an MRI after all, according to Newsday’s Tim Healey. After being scratched from his most recent start and placed on the 10-day injured list with elbow soreness, deGrom was able to play catch on Saturday, with the pitcher saying that he felt “completely normal.” DeGrom cited his illness, which prevented him from maintaining his usual routine throughout last week, as the primary source of his soreness. Both deGrom and manager Mickey Callaway expressed little concern over the soreness, leading the Mets to reconsider the previous plan to schedule an MRI for Monday. To be sure, that remains on the table, as doctors will continue to monitor the 2018 Cy Young Award winner; however, the organization has expressed confidence that additional imaging will not be necessary, and deGrom has stated that he intends to start on Friday, when he can be activated from the IL.

Here’s the latest on other injuries from around baseball…

  • DeGrom’s teammate Robinson Cano exited Sunday’s matchup with the Cardinals after he was hit in the hand with an Andrew Miller pitch. X-rays returned negative results, but Healey notes that Cano was wearing a cast after the game and will likely undergo further testing to determine the seriousness of the injury. Off to a slow start with his new club, Cano certainly does not need an injury to complicate an already challenging April.
  • Nationals ace Max Scherzer suffered an unusual injury earlier today when he tweaked his left intercostal while dodging a foul ball that found its way to the Nats’ dugout. Per Byron Kerr of MASN, Scherzer is optimistic that the injury will only keep him out of commission for a couple of days and will not require an IL stint. Scherzer started Saturday’s game in Miami, so such a time frame would not require the righty to miss any scheduled starts.
  • According to Pedro Moura of The Athletic, the Dodgers will activate southpaw Rich Hill and catcher Russell Martin this weekend when the Pirates visit Dodger Stadium. Both veterans are currently on the 10-day IL, with Martin suffering from lower back inflammation and Hill, who has yet to make his 2019 debut, recovering from a left knee sprain. The Dodgers’ rotation has excelled even without Hill, but the club will certainly welcome the 38-year-old back into the fold, further strengthening the pitching staff.
  • Bad news for the Blue Jays’ rotation continues to pile up, with right-hander Aaron Sanchez exiting Sunday’s game due to a broken fingernail on his right middle finger. Notably, Sanchez has a history of finger issues, which have led to IL stints in each of the previous two seasons. However, manager Charlie Montoyo told Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (Twitter link) that he is hopeful the injury will not force Sanchez to miss any starts.

      A broken nail isn’t a broken finger. Just got jammed on a fluke. Happens. Hopefully he doesn’t even miss a single start…

          Not the first time, CB. This guy has more hand related issues than any pitcher I can remember. Most guys you have to worry about the shoulder or the elbow holding up. With Sanchez it’s the goddamn hand…..

          Rich Hill is the only other pitcher I can think of with lots of hand related issues, specifically blisters.

      We need to sign Gio, his last two games were 18-innings pitched allowing two runs. Then we don’t mess with our pen and/or their assignments. Gio can help mentor the young guys and he can be flipped to a contender in July . Plus it’ll give SRF and Borucki or even Sanchez time to heal…

    Technically, shouldnt it be “DL stints previous two seasons”?

    This was before the name change. (That was a joke btw ;)

    Sanchez has over 4 years of service time and yet in 3.5 years as a starter he’s only actually started 73 regular season games. Brutal. But hey, lets keep hearing the complaints about how bad players have it. He’s been getting paid millions of dollars to sit on the DL.

      For his career, Sanchez has made about $1mil/WAR. That’s a pretty good deal for the Blue Jays. You sound more like warmbeer.

        The jays have made out on Aaron Sanchez for sure. They have 9MM sunk into the guy total over his entire career. Signing bonus included. A horrible example to suggest he’s been getting paid for nothing.

        8.4 WAR value his first 3 seasons. 1.2 WAR his last 2+ seasons since then while He’s been hurt and costing more. That does NOT seem like a very team friendly deal. So take your warm beer with some facts.

    Fingernails haven’t been his issue as much as blisters were. Either way, weak hands for a pitcher, but rather he had the broken nail than the other.

    I wonder how effective Blue Jays medical staff are? Pitchers can’t do a simple run down without ending their career with a knee injury, finger nails that are fragile, calves that are slow or respond (Donaldson), the injury prone feet of an over the hill shortstop (Tulowitzki). Maybe the geniuses in management could figure out a better health system. Glad. Overweight by pounds, Smoak getting chubby?

    Why are there so many posts about Sanchez? He is irrelevant. At least Hill has been relevant and is potentially relevant in the near future.

      A couple years back he had 5 WAR in 1 season and went 15-2. He’s relevant.

      Send Rich Hill to the AL East. Then tell us again that he’s relevant.
