NL Injury Notes: Braves, Myers, Betances, Cain

By Connor Byrne | April 14, 2021 at 6:43pm CDT

The Braves don’t have a timetable yet for injured right-handers Mike Soroka and Chris Martin to return, per David O’Brien of The Athletic. Soroka missed almost all of last season with a torn right Achilles, and as he was working his way back, the Braves had to shut him down because of shoulder inflammation. Martin went on the IL with the same issue on April 10 (retroactive to April 7). Between their injuries and Max Fried’s placement on the IL because of a hamstring strain, the Braves are without three of their most important pitchers.

  • Padres right fielder Wil Myers left their game Tuesday with right knee inflammation and was not in their starting lineup Wednesday. Myers has been dealing with patellar tenonitis, but it’s not believed he’ll miss much time or require surgery, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Even though Myers has had to play through discomfort, it hasn’t had an obvious effect on his production. On the heels of a massive rebound in 2020, he has begun this year with a torrid .341/.438/.659 line and three home runs in 48 plate appearances.
  • Mets reliever Dellin Betances, on the 10-day IL since April 8 with a right shoulder impingement, is still a ways from returning. Betances hasn’t begun throwing, and he won’t travel with the Mets for their April 16-22 road trip, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Injuries have been a constant problem over the past few years for Betances, a four-time All-Star who has thrown only 13 1/3 innings dating back to his final season with the Yankees in 2019. The Mets had high hopes for a Betances bounce-back effort when they signed him to a $10.5MM guarantee during the ensuing winter, but he yielded 10 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings in 2020. So far this year, Betances has made one appearance and thrown one inning, in which he allowed an earned run and a walk.
  • The Brewers have placed center fielder Lorenzo Cain on the 10-day IL with a strained left quad and recalled outfielder Tyrone Taylor, the team announced. There’s no word on how much time Cain will miss, but he strained his other quad during the spring and was limited to seven exhibition games as a result. The 35-year-old has gotten off to a slow start this season with a .154/.214/.423 line in 28 plate appearances.

          The funny part though with our luck as a Mets fan, is he will go somewhere else and more than likely be great again.Always happens to us smh.

          So true. I think Mets fans are confusing bad luck with franchise incompetence.

      Shane Greene is precisely who you don’t want to touch.

      Once you give these free agents money, they decline. The Braves are seeing it with Will Smith.

        Smith had Covid last year. And it’s only been two weeks. He’s going to be fine.

      Shane Greene throws batting practice. Ironic how Greene and Will Smith are both tops relievers for their previous teams. And now they couldn’t get me out.

      Well that was random. I’d say Messersmith and Nettles.

    It’s just jaw dropping how Wil Myers body finds a new way every year to push him into the DL. Extremely talented player who will never be seen as such because he can barely play 2/3 of a season.

      It’s knee tendonitis. It’s not serious, and Myers has been tearing the cover off the ball this year and last. I have no worries over him.

        Couldn’t have happened. The Blue Jays didn’t exist until 1977.

    Betances is a mostly healthy pitcher mistreated circumstances. He has been unfairly treated by not being allowed to pitch as often as pitchers who had better metrics in 2020. This is a blatant problem through out MLB where the manager only goes by standardized statistics and analytics and not a pitchers true potential. He has every right to be allowed to pitch in games when he is available

    Whose a fan of putting a runner in second base in extra innings? I know I’m not.

    Lump that with 7 inning double-header games….. ridiculous! Millionaire players playing less than full games AND getting a free base runner. Reminds me of college games…

      @gil. O’Day and Melancon both signed cheap on other teams and are contributing. Not resigning those guys seemed like a bad idea at the time and still does. Dayton looks like a weak link and Luke has probably been lucky so far. Greene would be nice but there’s probably a good reason no team had given him a contract yet. Hopefully there is still money left for a deadline trade.

        Melancon is under rated. Not as good as he once was, but still a decent bullpen piece. He was on the open market for a long time. Anyone could have had him
