Mike Moustakas Struggling To Recover From Wrist Injury

By Jeff Todd | September 6, 2019 at 6:43pm CDT

Veteran Brewers infielder Mike Moustakas is struggling to make his way back from a recent injury in the vicinity of his left wrist, as MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy reports on Twitter. The club is “not making progress” in getting Moustakas back to full health, says skipper Craig Counsell.

Surely, all interested parties would like to simply get to the bottom of the matter and gain some clarity. At this point, though, the next steps aren’t clear. Regardless of how things shake out on the injury front, Moustakas has turned in impressive work this season.

      As the horrendous Black Beast lunged forward, escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.The cartoon peril was no more. The quest for Holy Grail could continue.

    He isn’t all that great and shut it down before he hurt his off-season market?

    I hope the Tigers sign him this offseason. Bring in a veteran who plays the game right. DFA both Miggie and Zimmerman because they play lazy.

      And this is what you get, fanwise, when the lead in drinking water gets so high you can cast .22 rounds out of the bottom tailings from a boiled off pot of spaghetti…

    A sequel to a post? This is worse than turning that final movie about dogs and vampires into two movies about dogs and vampires.
