Well that Wicks news blows.  Was there any indication that would happen?  I don't recall it being that dire when he went down.

Jordan Wicks with the damning oblique.

My hand to God, since following mlb in the 1960's, I never knew we had obliques until turn of the century?

Based on this, Merryweather is trending towards about 2-2.5 weeks between starting his rehab stint in Arizona and being back in MLB.  Assuming Alzolay is on a similar schedule he'd be back right around the deadline.

Obliques are an explosiveness injury.  The reason they're more of a thing now is because today's players are lightyears more athletic than the guys 60 years ago.

I knew he was having a rough year but did not expect to see Corbin Carroll batting 7th and rocking a .633 OPS.

The Diamondbacks are aiming the baseball remarkably well, every single ball smack dab in the middle of two defenders.

Joe Girardi needs to be over and out. 

[LBiittner]

Ouch, nailed him in the oblique

At least we’re helping this dude get his ERA down

[Bull]

Morel living scared a ball will hit his foot.

[LBiittner]

Nelson looked dandy facing dansby

[JHBulls]

According to Joe, Morel is the kind of hitter that can hit 5 or 6 home runs in a 10 day period. He’s hit 18 home runs in 96 games that he’s played. 😂

[chibears55]

Glad to see the bats didn't rust over the break, theyre still the same 🙄🙄🙄

[LBiittner]

WTF

[CubinNY]

Steele is leaving everything up

[LBiittner]

The fundamentals haven't been fun for the cubs. Seiya with a boner

From April 29th to May 6th he hit 5 home runs. Is Girardi wrong?
