Sadly, based on this information, I agree … assuming he has a “moderate” lat strain

… pip?

Sorry … basic math for Brewers fans who follow this team closely & care about such things as their magic number 😏

Understanding a Moderate Lat Strain in Baseball A latissimus dorsi (lat) strain is a common overuse injury in baseball, often affecting pitchers or hitters due to repetitive overhead throwing or swinging motions. “Moderate” typically refers to a grade 2 strain on the medical grading scale (grade 1: mild, grade 2: partial tear with noticeable weakness and pain, grade 3: full rupture). Recovery depends on factors like age, overall health, rehab adherence, and whether surgery is needed (rare for moderate cases). Typical Recovery Time For a moderate lat strain, expect 4-8 weeks of recovery before returning to full baseball activities. This breaks down as: • Initial rest and pain management: 1-2 weeks of immobilization, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling. • Rehabilitation phase: 3-6 weeks of progressive physical therapy focusing on restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion. This includes gentle stretching, isometric exercises, and sport-specific drills (e.g., light throwing). • Return to play: Gradual ramp-up in the final 1-2 weeks, with clearance from a sports medicine specialist to avoid re-injury. Evidence and Sources • According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine (studies on MLB pitchers), moderate lat strains average 42-56 days on the injured list, aligning with 4-8 weeks for non-surgical cases. • Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic guidelines for muscle strains confirm grade 2 recovery in 4-6 weeks with proper rehab, though baseball’s high-velocity demands can extend it to 8 weeks. • MLB team protocols (e.g., via Driveline Baseball resources) emphasize individualized timelines, with 70-80% of players returning fully within 6 weeks if rehab starts early. Tips for Recovery • Consult a physician for an MRI to confirm severity. • Avoid rushing back—re-injury risk is high without full strength. • Incorporate preventive exercises like lat stretches and core work post-recovery. If symptoms persist beyond 8 weeks or worsen, seek immediate medical evaluation.

Remind him of what a great in-game manager we have … maybe he will be in awe & give us a few calls

Not sure he will make the playoff roster Good guy … better players available

Not your buddy

The Brewers have the best record in baseball

Whatever … I mostly like your posts, but you’re just being an a#*

Basic math … no website needed

We both know better … not funny at all

Music to my ears

I agree with where you have Misiorowski slotted

Duplicate

I understand … but that someone is not Miz … in my opinion based on his recent outings

An earlier post suggested that Miz would be our third starter if Woody can’t pitch in playoffs

Bummer of all bummers

Thank you … I saw the interview … I was asking about a specific sentence or statement from Woody that suggests year ending injury

No to Miz … even if Woody is out for the season

Can you please post what you heard that leads to this assumption? That is frightening to hear.

Strong bench today: Yelich, Frelick, Turang, Bauers, & Contreras

How bizarre … I guess Zimmermann & Fette will get starts this week … surely hope we get the NL 1 Seed with this approach … seems risky to me

It makes sense that Quero would get the call over Haase if needed for Contreras since Quero is on the 40-man roster & Haase is not. Who is our “emergency” catcher if Jansen needs to exit the game? Hopefully, it is not Contreras. He needs a few days to get past the swelling & pain.

Phillies lose … they are 3 games + tiebreaker behind Brewers for one seed with 7 games remaining
