Guess they think Andujar still needs to work on his defense if they're not comfortable playing him every day at third.

Edit: I guess I would have preferred that they option Refs instead. Guy can't play good defense at any position and he hasn't shown the ability to hit. I don't know what his role on the team is other than being Aaron Judge's friend. Williams at least plays decent defense and can pinch run.

Andujar does need more work on defense at 3B, and I don't think they would want him or Headley to try and learn 1B on the fly. I wouldn't be shocked if Andujar played a mix of 1B and 3B back in AAA now.

They also have nine of ten games before the break against right handed starters, and I assume they want to play the splits with Fowler.

Also, Fowler and Wade were Rule 5 eligible this year anyway, and Fowler is the new, younger, better(?) version of Mason Williams anyway. Just moving up the time they had to make the change. The system is still so stacked with OF.

I am very surprised that Refs is still on the team, though, given they clearly do not have faith him to do...anything. I think they totally wasted their chance by not playing him over Drew the other year.

As far as Carter goes, they really didn't have an option there, honestly. Playing Romine every day at 1B leaves them without a BUC and I have a feeling that would blow up in their faces sooner rather than later.

EDIT: Maybe Carter took the 5 days to really clear his head and he's gonna mash! Right?!

How bad is that as a long term injury? Because getting called up and hurting yourself on your first defensive play before you get an AB is loving heartbreaking and I pray to God its not the end of his story.

Victor Cruz tore the same tendon in October and was back in training camp the next summer. Then injured his calf and was out another year, but he came back from that and is still playing.

Everything I've seen says that people can expect a full return of motion and strength as long as it's repaired quickly. OF also doesn't require nearly as much lateral movement or powering through large, padded men.

I highly doubt they start the clock on Frazier for a 4th OF spot. My money is on them just rescinding the designation for Mason Williams.

did they say open repair? that just describes the surgical approach. an open rupture does imply that there was a break in the skin, potentially the patella reached escaped velocity after being untethered from the tibia.

I can't find it in my medical books right now, but I believe an open lesion of the tendon means that it was deeply cut/lacerated (usually from penetrating trauma) whereas if it was a closed lesion then it was caused by a crushing mechanism or if the tendon itself pulls a piece of the bone off from where the tendon was attached (avulsion fracture)

That's weird, because he wasn't bleeding. If he hit the edge of the wall and it kind of "pinched" the tendon enough to tear, would that count?

I'm also seeing that "open rupture" just means a full tear.

Actually, I think I was wrong. An open lesion can be due to laceration, crushing or avulsion. Closed rupture could be due to degenerative diseases. I only had a semester of orthopedic surgery in med school, though, so I'm not an expert at this stuff at all either.

Do you think that three years from now they are going to be worried about Frazier if he is still in AAA? If he is still there, something has gone wrong with his development

He seems like the kind of guy that may use one, maybe two, options.

open refers to the injury mechanism resulting in a break in the skin and basically means the tendon was lacerated. in this case, the wall must have traumatically cut his tendon.
