Injury Notes: Astros, A. Reyes, Cain, Dodgers, Lamet

By Connor Byrne | June 25, 2019 at 9:18pm CDT

Astros right-hander Corbin Martin is dealing with “a potentially serious elbow injury,” Brian McTaggart of MLB.com writes. Martin suffered the injury during a start for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. MLB.com’s 48th-ranked prospect, Martin made his major league debut earlier this season when the Astros were looking for a fifth starter, though he wasn’t able to lay claim to the spot. The 23-year-old made five starts and posted a 5.59 ERA with 8.84 K/9 and 5.59 BB/9 in 19 1/3 innings before the Astros optioned him back to the minors.

  • Cardinals righty Alex Reyes has been diagnosed with a strained pectoral muscle that will cost him to two to three starts, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak (via Mark Saxon of The Athletic). It’s the latest in a growing line of injuries for the touted Reyes, who, largely because of health issues, hasn’t been able to stay in the majors since his 2016 debut. The 24-year-old has spent almost all of this season at Triple-A Memphis, where he has recorded a 7.39 ERA with 12.21 K/9 and 7.71 BB/9 in 28 innings (10 appearances, seven starts).
  • Brewers center fielder Lorenzo Cain underwent cryptotherapy on his right thumb Tuesday, but it should only keep him out a couple days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com relays. Cain has undergone the procedure on a few occasions during his career, per McCalvy, who notes the 33-year-old has been battling pain for weeks. That likely helps explain Cain’s surprising decline in production. One of the majors’ most valuable players from 2017-18, Cain’s off to a .253/.314/.357 start in 331 plate appearances this year.
  • The Dodgers are hopeful shortstop Corey Seager will return immediately after next month’s All-Star break, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday (via Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times and Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register). Seager would end up missing about a month in that scenario, having gone to the IL with a left hamstring strain June 13. Meanwhile, fellow Dodgers infielder David Freese’s injured hamstring is “not responding like we’d hoped,” Roberts revealed. Nevertheless, the Dodgers are optimistic Freese – who just hit the shelf over the weekend – will come back prior to the break.
  • The Padres could soon have “a serious conversation” about whether to add rehabbing righty Dinelson Lamet to their rotation, per manager Andy Green (via AJ Cassavell of MLB.com). The team’s “getting more and more excited about that concept” of plugging in Lamet, who’s mending from April 2018 Tommy John surgery and may only be one more rehab start from heading back to San Diego. The 26-year-old’s first major league start of the season could come as early as July 4, Cassavell reports. Lamet showed promise in his only big league season, 2017, during which he logged a 4.57 ERA with 10.94 K/9 and 4.25 BB/9 in 114 1/3 innings.

    Cryptotherapy you say?

    Is that something like a medical treatment no one is allowed to know about?

        No I think that’s Sasquatherapy. Cryptotherapy is when you put bitcoins on your injuries.

        You’re correct, bravesfan — cryptotherapy is various forms of therapy given by anomalous creatures. I know all about it. I get a massage from Kraken every Wednesday and currently, Mothman is my psychotherapist about once a month. He isn’t very good. Cain is in Milwaukee so my guess is that he gets his therapy from either Goatman of Hogsback Road or perhaps Hodag (though a Bigfoot is a possibility).

      Take a look at his numbers before you give him the Cy Young. 4.57 ERA and 4.25 BB/9? What we need is a proven ML starting pitcher or two while the rookies develop. THAT is what “every Padres fan is missing.”

    Martin getting injured takes away a very significant trade chip for the Astros. He and/or Bukaskas would have certainly been dealt as part of any significant deal if Tucker and Whitley remain off the table.
    Hopefully it’s not an injury like TJ that could sideline him for a year+.

      Agreed. Figured if Houston was looking at Marcus Stroman, Martin would be the main pitching piece to deal.

    Make it “who hasn’t been able to stay in the majors since his 2016 debut, largely because of health issues.” The way you have it written is too indirect.

    Reyes thing is a big blow…was supposed to be the guy…cardinals need an ace this year and he was supposed to be the future…who should the target for trade be? IMO I think we need an ace…who we have to give up for stroman? Bauer?

      I don’t think the cards should pull the trigger on offloading any prospect that might be up next year.

    If the Padres are going to bring up Lamet for a July 4th start, that means they have already had to extend his rehab assignment by 10 days. It was scheduled to end on June 28th and that lines up with his next rehab start.

    No need to even look around at the major leagues for any Starting Pitching or an impact player or two. The Cardinals will
    Be sellers this summer—-not buyers in 2019. The bad thing about it is ——- Mozeliak will trade someone like Wong for

      Its a shame. You look down our line up and you wouldn’t think we would be so bad. A shake-up is needed. A Manager may have to go, or get rid of Fowler, Carpenter, ans Bader, Mozeliak said we don’t need a hitter????
